Holosun 512T is a red dot sight of the Reflex series. It is much bigger than typical reflex red dot sights. Furthermore, it is of the enclosed type, meaning that it is protected from rain, dirt and dust.
The letter 'T' means that the device is made of titanium, which makes it stronger and more durable. For this reason, 512T-GR is classified as Elite.
Even though ‘C’ is missing in its name, 512T features a solar panel on top of the housing.
‘GR’ indicates that this red dot sight comes with illumination in green.
The product features the ShakeAwake function. When left powered on, the device will go from 'active mode' to 'sleep mode' after a while to prevent unnecessary battery drain. Once moved, it will power back on immediately.
Reflex is one of the red dot sight series made by Holosun. These compact sights are not closed on both sides like the Tube, Infiniti and Paralow series, which is why they are very compact and lightweight (there are some exceptions to this in the Holosun Reflex series – 512T is closed from both sides and thus bigger while 510C is a reflex-type red dot sight of a bigger design).
Because of their size, 407C, 507C, and 508T are great for mounting on a pistol.
The illumination is powered by a CR2032 battery. The click value for the elevation and windage adjustments is 0.5 MOA. These durable red dot sights feature a single-piece housing made out of aluminum. Altogether, there are 12 illumination intensity levels to choose from, 2 of which are NVD compatible. The battery life is 50.000 hours.
The 512 is one of the model families in the Reflex series. The first number '5' in its name means that the user can switch between a 2 MOA dot and a 2 MOA dot surrounded by a 65 MOA circle dot reticle.
The Holosun's MOA red dot features an integrated Picatinny mount that cannot be removed.
The product comes with a 3 years warranty on the material and on the electronics.
