EHS-1 Holographic Sight

This is great so far. Excited to see an anti-reflective cover hit the market.

Took a chance on one of these after seeing the review that Modern Tactical Shooting did. I respect Jeff and trust his opinion ls to help me make purchasing decisions. Let me preface my review with this- I do not like Chinese made optics. I am a buy once cry once person, and until now, all my rifles and pistols have either Trijicon RMRs, ACOGs, Aimpoint T2 Micro, Aimpoint ACROs or Eotech EXPS3-0. I was expecting at least Holosun quality, but I'm not a huge fan of Holosun or Chinese optics in general. Upon receiving my EHS-1, that changed. I was impressed by the packaging, presentation and attention to detail on the optic itself. The glass is clear and the overall QC of the optic is superb. Way better than anything else I have seen from other companies, except Aimpoint. Using the optic, it's just like an Eotech. One thing I do appreciate is that when you turn it off then turn it back on, it reverts to the last used brightness level, unlike an Eotech that turns on to a default mid setting. The QD mount is solid, and required no adjustment to mount on my Kriss Vector SBR. I took it to the range and zeroed it, and had zero issues. However I only shot 250 rounds. Time will tell, however I do not see myself buying an Eotech ever again after having numerous QC issues with them....and I get them direct from Eotech at the MIL/LE price. The EHS-1 was $510 after signing up to their newsletter, and even at $600, I believe its worth it. Time will tell how these optics hold up, and I'm very excited for the future of DOT. I will also add that prior to purchasing, I emailed with a few questions and they were courteous and helpful. Take a chance on one of these EHS-1. I thought I was stuck in my way of thinking that Chinese optics suck, aka Holosun. But these things are on a whole other level. Like Aimpoint levels of attention to detail and build quality from what I have experienced so far.

It is not without some minor quirks but I like that a new player has entered the holographic optic market space and has brought some actual innovation with them!

I received a holographic optic in FDE and put about 300 rounds through it. The clarity of the glass and the reticle are on par with the EOTech optic that I have. Held zero just fine. it sits a little taller than I'm used to with the EOTech but I made it work. The visible reticle gets very bright. I tested it out in the desert on a hot and sunny day with dark sunglasses on and I could see it no problem. It can also get very dim for those low light situations. It is a little different to zero in, compared to a shorter optic. Once I figured that out it dialed in perfectly. The night vision retical works great, you can get it dim for very low or no light or bright if there is some ambient lights. I tested it out with a set of PVS 31A, The extra height was nice to be able to clear the top of the rifle and still be able to see the retical.
