That US gun owners would buy Made-in-China optics to the point that US companies cannot rely on "trusted US quality" anymore?
Holosun’s quality and price can’t be argued with. Most American gun owners would buy American in a heartbeat if the quality and price were even comparable compared to Holosun products, but they are not even close.
Holosun routinely wins or draws with top of the line western optics in fair durability and reliability tests, has far more features (shake awake is great), much better battery life (although western brands are catching up in that regard) and comes in significantly cheaper (they used to be a fraction of the price, but a combination of other optics makers slashing prices and Holosun probably increasing its own profit margins to cash in on its brand has eroded that significantly).
As an aside, Holosun optics typically have 40-50k hours battery life. That’s 4-5 years of it being on 24/7. But many have shake awake and solar cells, so practically speaking, you are probably not going to need to change batteries for a decade or more unless you are some sort of LARPer who goes dancing with your guns every chance you get.
