Best Gun Sights of 2025

"I recently mounted the HOLOSUN HS407K X2 Red Dot Sight on my subcompact pistol, and I'm really impressed with its performance. The build quality is outstanding; it's both lightweight and sturdy, perfect for compact firearms. The 6 MOA red dot is bright and clear, making target acquisition fast in various lighting conditions. I also love the shake awake feature that conserves battery life, which has been impressive so far."

"I installed the Holosun HS407K X2 on my Sig Compact, and it has been a fantastic choice. Its compact design fits perfectly on the slide, keeping my firearm's sleek profile intact. The red dot is crisp and easy to pick up, allowing for quick target acquisition. Plus, the adjustments for brightness are simple and effective."

"For my first red dot on a handgun, I chose the Holosun 407K X2 and I’m loving it! It fits perfectly on my Equalizer without any modifications, but I did have to find my own mounting screws, which was a bit of a hassle. Once mounted, it was easy to sight in and held zero flawlessly. The shake awake feature works great, allowing me to stay on target with both eyes open."

“I bought three of these sights. The first one didn't have an auto-off feature, which I consider essential. However, the next generation had it and worked perfectly on my 223/556 bullpup. Multiple brightness settings functioned flawlessly. After firing about 95 rounds on my Sig Sauer Cross in 6.5 Creedmoor, I can confidently say the accuracy was excellent up to 50 yards. If you're like me, not shooting multiple times a week, this Feyachi sight is a solid choice.”

“This is my first review, but I had to share my experience. I chose this sight because it was one of the few affordable reflex options that could handle a 12ga. I fired 30 rounds of slugs and birdshot, and it held zero very well. The only downside was that in direct sunlight, the red dot would blur into a blob. Overall, I'm satisfied with the RS-30 and have even used it more since.”

“I bought this for my 9 mm carbine, and after sighting it in, I managed 2" groups at 50 yards. Unfortunately, after cleaning and storing it, the crosshairs disappeared, and I couldn't get them back in view. It left me feeling uneasy about its reliability. Despite its positive features, I wonder if I received a defective item. Based on my experience, I might suggest looking for other options.”

"I found the scope to be high-quality and heavy-duty. The sight is incredibly clear and vibrant, making it easy to see. Adjusting it was simple, although it took me a little while to figure out. I love how it combines functionality with the laser and sight. I'll provide an update on its durability soon!"

"I've mounted this on everything from a Glock21 to a .50 cal rifle. It holds firmly and is surprisingly accurate for the price. I noticed one of the mounts is missing, which is my mistake since I didn’t tighten it well. I plan to buy another set since the price is excellent!"

"As someone who owns several higher-end red dots, I was pleasantly surprised by this reflex sight. It was easy to install and adjust, and the rugged build is impressive for such a low price. Now I feel like I may have overpaid for my other sights!"

"At first, I thought I received a used item because the battery was already installed, and I noticed what I believed was a defect on the lens. After considering a return, I checked one at a local store and discovered that the pre-installed battery is normal for this Holosun model. The glare I initially saw was simply due to being indoors and looking too closely at the lens. Once I took it outside and mounted it, the sight looked fantastic with a perfect red dot or reticle and no glare. Great eye relief and the magnification works perfectly too."

"I just received this product, and it looks brand new with minimal wear on the pivot joint for the magnifier. The installation was straightforward with toggle levers, and tools were provided to adjust tension for a tight fit without wobble. The adjustable brightness is fantastic for different lighting conditions, and the magnification appears clear. From my experience with previous dot sights, I thought I had an astigmatism, but this sight minimizes the starburst effect. I found it completely usable. I'll update after more use."

"As an army veteran, this is my first civilian optic that I've really liked. The red dot is extremely user-friendly, and the magnifier is fantastic. I felt like I was flipping between CCOs and ACOGs! I took it to the range on my AR for a 50/200 yard zero and was very pleased with how well it held up. My last optic from Amazon lost its zero after a few magazines, which was disappointing. This one seems to hold zero really well, and I wish I could use it for qualification. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a solid short-range optic, and the ability to flip the magnifier is a significant plus. I've enjoyed using it for about two years now."

"I've owned this optic for about a year now, and it's been tough and well-made. I originally had it on a rifle, but now it's on my home defense shotgun. It holds zero through the recoil of a shotgun, and the QD mount is rock solid. The reticle is crisp and clear, even with my aging eyes."

"I mounted this on my 12 gauge KSG, and after having the gunsmith sight it in, it was dead on—even at 100 yards with slugs! After firing nearly 50 slugs and 200 birdshot shells, the sight is still perfectly on target. The dot is extremely crisp, and I love the option to switch between different reticle styles."

"I bought this for my 45/70 and was initially worried about recoil. After doing some research, I found out this red dot can handle a lot. The sight is very clear, and the reticle is nice and crisp. I would definitely buy this again."

"I've tried various red dots, and this one stands out as the best for my handguns. The three brightness options are fantastic, and having a solar battery backup is a game changer! I mounted it on my SW22 Victory and found it incredibly accurate at 20 yards. Crisp red dot and no optical issues – I love this optic!"

"I mounted this on my M&P9 2.0, and the installation was a breeze. The 32 MOA circle feels almost like cheating! I zeroed it quickly with a bore laser and have had no need to adjust it since. The green dot is perfect for my sight alignment issues. I'm definitely going back to Holosun for more optics!"

"Choosing this optic for my G19 was a great decision. The high-quality materials and superb craftsmanship impressed me. The green dot works better for my astigmatism, and I appreciate the battery life and compact design. Holosun's products have consistently impressed me!"

"I did a lot of research before buying, and I believe the TFX Pro was the best option for me. Installing them on my S&W Shield took about an hour, but it was easier than the stock sights. I recommend using a good sight pusher to avoid damaging the slide, and marking the center of the slide helped a lot. After the installation, I noticed an improvement in my target acquisition almost instantly!"

"I wanted sights for my G43 that worked well in low light, and these exceeded my expectations. The orange ring around the front sight is ideal for quick aiming, and the sights are still visible as the light fades. Installation was simple with the right tools, and I secured everything with blue Locktite. I love the angled rear sight; it allows for one-handed loading in emergencies!"

"I recently put these on my Glock, and I love the quick sight picture they provide. The night glow is effective, and I plan to buy more for my other pistols. The price is reasonable for the quality you get."

"I added this sight to my SA XDm using a dovetail adapter. The sighting process was a breeze, and the dot is crisp and adjustable to various light conditions or personal preference."

"I recently upgraded to the HOLOSUN HE407C-GR X2 and I'm thoroughly impressed. The 2 MOA dot is precise and the Shake-Awake technology means it's always ready when I am. The solar failsafe feature gives me peace of mind, and the durable aluminum construction feels solid. Overall, this sight has really improved my shooting accuracy and reliability!"

"This is my fourth Holosun pistol red dot, and they have been nothing short of fantastic. I considered a cheaper brand but quickly realized that the quality of Holosun is far superior. Just spend or save a little extra, and you will be glad you did!"

"I recently upgraded to the Vortex Optics Strikefire II Red Dot Sight, and it’s been a game-changer for me. It enhances my firearm's look and integrates perfectly with its sleek design. But the real magic lies in its unparalleled clarity, allowing me to see every detail of my target, boosting my accuracy and confidence. Plus, the dual-color dot option is a fantastic feature that adapts to any lighting situation, ensuring I always have optimal visibility."

"I bought the Vortex Strikefire II, and it’s been a great investment. The brightness settings for both the red and green dots are just right, and the quality finish is impressive. After firing around a thousand rounds, it still operates like new. I really appreciate the warranty, which was a key factor in my decision to purchase this sight."

"After using the Vortex Optics Strikefire II, I can confidently say it's a solid product. It mounts easily on my M4 and provides excellent visibility, even in bright light. I love how durable it feels, and the fact that it has six screws securing it gives me confidence I won’t have to re-sight often."

"I purchased this little 507K to complement a new firearm. It fit perfectly and was a breeze to install. It performs flawlessly, just like all my previous Holosun optics. The dot is easy to locate, and the multi-reticle feature gives me three choices. Even in the brightest sunlight, it remains daylight bright. I've had positive experiences with Holosun, and they are well-built and reasonably priced. I did see it go on sale for $70 less right after I bought it, but that’s just my luck. Big thumbs up to Holosun and Amazon for the fast, professional shipping!"

"I recently got this green dot sight for my Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro. The installation was easy, and it functions perfectly. It aligns well during my natural stance and draw. The green reticle is one of the easiest colors to see in various lighting conditions. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase."

"I have to say, the shake awake feature is a bit too sensitive for my liking. Sometimes it won’t turn off or will wake unexpectedly. I’ve had to press the + button to turn it on multiple times, even after just drawing my pistol. I wish there was an option to set a lower auto turn-off time. It seems like a simple change that would make a big difference!"
