This is why I went with suppressor hight night sights on the Dagger FS I just ordered. It's going to be my learn how to use a red dot gun.
I can keep my CZ P10F as is until I get good with a red dot. Then it will get suppressor hight night sights also and a good rds.

I don't know the number..here it is

 

[IN New Guy]

The model is written on the side. It's a Holosun 507K X2.

BTW, it's a nice sight; I like mine. But so far I haven't been able to get the battery door open. Any suggestions?

Says it on the left side there: HS507K X2.

You should be getting well over a year, minimum, with that model if the shake awake is working and you’re not running it at full brightness, FYI.

Possibly defective?
Or bad batteries.

Battery on my EDC G45 509T lasted just over a year.

I'm around s month into carrying the SCS on the G19. Suposedly 10 years life out of this unit, running only solar, with a non replaceable internal battery.

It's not a door it's a tray and you may need to get a small screwdriver to get it moving after you remove the screw.. If it's the original battery they don't tend to last very long. Get a Duracell and You should get a year out of it.

What battery manufacturer? Aaron Cowan has data showing Duracell to be more reliable. I change all of mine on my birthday, and this year switched all to Duracell brand.

In general I find this to be accurate. I used to buy cheap store brand batteries, and they'd be dead in a year just sitting on the shelf in the package.

My batteries on my EDC have never died, thank god. But just in case, where do I find the battery compartment on Tritium sights?

I use the same one as daily carry and run it fairly bright. I'm probably getting 4 to 5 months out of it before it starts blinking. The battery it came with didn't last as long. I don't know what their battery life rating is based on but I'm sure its at a low brightness with only the dot.

 

[Basher]

Holosun quotes “up to 50,000hrs.” That DOES depend on what brightness you have it set at, and if you’re EDCing at a high brightness I’d expect it to be a good bit less than that. But I’d still expect about a year. Might be worth giving them a call/email.

Not sure I'd go with Duracells, seen too many of them leak for me to trust. Energizers are about the unleakiest (is that a word?) brand I've found.

 

[Jim McKalip]

I was in the camera repair business from 1969 until I retired in 1994. We ren into so many cases of leaky Duracells we referred to it as "the Duracell disease". We wound up using Energizers and Varta with no problem, A few years ago I was given a remote reading weather station. When I went to replace the batteries they were leaking Duracells. They are now Energizers. I removed the corrosion with full strength CLR on a q-tip.

I was looking for more batteries for my Holosun Hs507c X2 and ran across these.
They are rechargeable unto 300x it says. They cost $4 each or $16 for this 4 pack.
Has anyone ever tried rechargeable coin batteries before?

 

[Jim McKalip]

Would you save enough money to make it worth the risk ? I am cheap but not that cheap.

What risk?

 

[ditcherman]

What risk?

For me it’s the risk of the unknown.
I’d want to play with it in a range toy only before I went all dependent on it.
I just don’t think rechargeables have the life.
