What other weapon offers you cheap ammo, near-universal range access, an easily suppressed platform, and a varied platform? ARs are great, but doesn&#8217;t an MP5 or CZ Scorpion really spice things up? The PCC has become a popular option for defensive use, as a suppressor host, and for competition shooting. Like most guns, they can greatly benefit from an optic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly the red dot rules on a PCC, but we are going to dive deep into not only red dots but a few options that might surprise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-holosun-510c\">Holosun 510C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Holosun&#8217;s more affordable and complex options comes in the form of the HS510C. It&#8217;s absolutely chock full of features and well-priced. The optic is an open emitter design with a big wide window and thin walls for a clear view devoid of the walls of the optic. It comes ready with an integral mount and sits at an AR height plug-and-play performance.

A solar backup allows the battery to run dry without you losing power. The HS510C packs great ergonomics, two big buttons, and a nice clear view. It&#8217;s easy to use and perfect for the close-range nature of PCCs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Holosun-510c-MRS.png\" alt=\"HS510C reticle options of 65 MOA Ring and 2 MOA Dot combinations\" class=\"wp-image-177448\" title=\"2 - The Best PCC Optics Out There\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Holosun-510c-MRS.png 600w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Holosun-510c-MRS-400x147.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Holosun-510c-MRS-150x55.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trijicon-accupoint-1-4x-triangle-reticle\">Trijicon Accupoint 1-4X Triangle Reticle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An LPVO on a PCC seems crazy, but that&#8217;s just because you are only thinking 9mm. Guns that shoot 10mm, .357 Magnum, 44 Magnum, and more can benefit from a little magnification.

The big triangle reticle and second focal plane are perfect together. At 1X, it&#8217;s nearly red dot fast, and at 4X, you can still hit targets quickly out to 100 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/trijicon-accupoint-1-4x24-amber-scope.jpg\" alt=\"Trijicon Accupoint - an older option for larger guns\" class=\"wp-image-177460\" title=\"2 - The Best PCC Optics Out There\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/trijicon-accupoint-1-4x24-amber-scope.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/trijicon-accupoint-1-4x24-amber-scope-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/trijicon-accupoint-1-4x24-amber-scope-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/trijicon-accupoint-1-4x24-amber-scope-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The clarity is outstanding, and it makes it easy to see and engage small targets. Magnum-powered lever guns are perfect for hog hunting and in swamps, dense brush, and similar environments. You can see through the terrain, zoom in, and engage if necessary.

The prism design and etched reticle work with those suffering from astigmatism, and if the battery dies, you still have a reticle.

It uses the open emitter design and thing, lightweight nature of a pistol optic with a 35mm lens. It&#8217;s big and bad and perfect for close-range shooting. The open nature keeps things fast and makes it natural for competition shooting. SIG made the optic entirely from aluminum with glass lenses and a drop and waterproof design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/romeo3xl-2_2.jpg\" alt=\"Sig Sauer Romeo3XL made with a waterproof design\" class=\"wp-image-177447\" title=\"2 - The Best PCC Optics Out There\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/romeo3xl-2_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/romeo3xl-2_2-400x280.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/romeo3xl-2_2-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/romeo3xl-2_2-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Romeo3XL encourages a two-eyed open shooting style, and the design ensures it works really well with night vision. It luckily has night vision brightness settings, so you&#8217;re covered. The thin, light design keeps things minimalistic without compromising durability or quality.

It&#8217;s a high-tech red dot design that can wirelessly interact with Android and iOS devices. This allows you to customize your optics, zero your gun, as well as build profiles for various guns, ammo types, or whatever. Handgun ammunition varies quite a bit, and there is a zero shift between 147 grain and 115 grain 9mm, and you can zero your gun for both with the Meprolight Foresight. Switching profiles is simple, and with a few clicks, you&#8217;re ready to rock and roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/opplanet-meprolight-mepro-foresight-red-dot-sight-black-ml5685553-main.png\" alt=\"Meprolite Foresight\" class=\"wp-image-177442\" title=\"2 - The Best PCC Optics Out There\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/opplanet-meprolight-mepro-foresight-red-dot-sight-black-ml5685553-main.png 592w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/opplanet-meprolight-mepro-foresight-red-dot-sight-black-ml5685553-main-385x300.png 385w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/opplanet-meprolight-mepro-foresight-red-dot-sight-black-ml5685553-main-150x117.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The optic&#8217;s various reticles allow you to be quite picky.

They are cheap to shoot, often break the AR mold, and are quite easy to suppress. There are tons of benefits to having a PCC, and like most long guns, they benefit greatly from a little optic love. Luckily, PCC optics are fairly simple due to their short range, and hopefully, you leave here today a little more prepared to outfit your favorite PCC with one optic or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-best-pcc-optics-out-there\" title=\"The Best PCC Optics Out There\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pistol caliber carbines, or PCCs, are a ton of fun.
