When it comes to red dots, the SCS Carry is built tough. It utilizes fairly thick sidewalls that avoid the feeling of tunnel vision.&nbsp;The front and back sealed glass windows protect the laser emitter for continued use in wet and dirty conditions. Rated IPX8, it surpasses the typical IPX7 rating, indicating resistance to continuous water immersion under specified conditions. Additionally, the 7075 prevents corrosion from saltwater, making it suitable for maritime environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3735-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Recessed glass window on a Holosun optic\" class=\"wp-image-201532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3735-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3735-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3735-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3735-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3735.jpg 1223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Recessed glass window with a rugged 7075 T6 aluminum housing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scs-carry-footprint\">SCS Carry Footprint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This red dot is designed to attach directly to HOLOSUN-K slide cuts or to RMSc cut slides with the included adapter plate. This ensures compatibility with a wide array of mounts and slide cuts. For my review, I mounted the SCS Cary onto the 12 gauge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mossberg.com\/940-jm-pro-85166.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"holosun-scs-carry-review-no-more-replacing-batteries\" title=\"Holosun SCS Carry Review: No More Replacing Batteries?!\u00a0\">Mossberg 940 JM Pro<\/a>. This shotgun had a low optic cut, resulting in seamless functionality and the ability to use the front fiber optic sight still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-multiple-reticle-system\">Multiple Reticle System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Holosun utilizes a Multi-reticle System (MRS) which allows you to determine the type of aiming point you want to use when you want to use it. With the SCS Carry model, you can choose between a basic 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or a combination of both\u2014a 32 MOA circle-dot. This variety ensures versatility for diverse shooting scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that the different reticles pull different amounts of power affecting how often the SCS Carry needs to be charged. From what. I can gather from the owner&#8217;s manual, that&nbsp;using the circle-dot reticle pulls about 3 times more power than just the single 2 MOA dot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-controls-brightness-nbsp\">Controls \/ Brightness&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To toggle between these different reticles, or power the optic on, simply press and hold the single button on the left side of the housing. A long press cycles through power on -&gt; dot-circle -&gt; dot -&gt; circle -&gt; power off. While the brightness is automatically adjusted due to ambient lighting conditions, a short button press will override this and set the SCS Carry to the maximum brightness setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3733-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Holosun logo is set into the side of a small optic\" class=\"wp-image-201534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3733-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3733-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3733-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3733-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3733.jpg 1425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The single button to operate the Holosun SCS Carry is located on the left side of the housing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The automatic brightness adjustments are fast. Testing this I would cover the solar cell with my finger and then remove it and the dot adjusted seemingly instantaneously. Using the automatic setting in various lighting conditions worked well for me, and I never needed to use the brightness override. However, It doesn&#8217;t get quite as bright as a Trijicon RMR and I would have preferred a red dot as green blends in more with green backdrops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3759-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Looking through two different optics\" class=\"wp-image-201535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3759-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3759-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3759-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3759-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3759.jpg 1287w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Both dots are on max brightness, the green dot on the left is the SCS Carry and the right is an RMR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the SCS Carry&#8217;s lowest brightness is still brighter than most NV settings on other red dots. This doesn&#8217;t mean it isn&#8217;t useable, but rather it just blooms more and may not be the ideal option for those who will be shooting with night vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solar-charging-nbsp-for-the-scs-carry\">Solar Charging&nbsp;for the SCS Carry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SCS Carry operates via an internally rechargeable battery that cannot be removed. Holosun explains that this built-in battery bolsters the system&#8217;s power when ambient lighting conditions are inadequate. While different reticles consume varying amounts of power, Holosun asserts that the single dot can operate for up to 200,000 hours indoors. However, when utilizing the maximum brightness override with the circle and dot reticle, the battery discharge time diminishes to 1,000 hours. Despite the decrease in runtime at higher brightness settings, integrating features like auto-shutoff and motion activation ensures remarkable longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3738-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Holosun SCS Carry with an angle showing its solar charging panel next to a strip of ammunition\" class=\"wp-image-201536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3738-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3738-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3738-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3738-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3738.jpg 1395w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Solar cell located on the top of the housing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Holosun specifies that in the most extreme scenario, &#8220;12\u03bcA of power will be consumed when the circle-dot mode is used for 10 hours. However, the SCS Carry can charge 100\u03bcAh when in direct sunlight for 1 hour.&#8221; This translates to a maximum drainage of 1.2\u03bcA per hour and a charging rate nearly 100 times greater than consumption\u2014a noteworthy feat. Combined with auto-off and&nbsp;shake-awake&nbsp;functionalities, the red dot should theoretically endure almost indefinitely. According to the owner&#8217;s manual, the circle-dot reticle draws 15\u03bcAh of power when used with the brightness override setting, which is more than ten times the consumption they stated in the quote above. Nonetheless, the overall runtime remains impressive in either scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turrets\">Turrets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For zero adjustments on this optic, Holosun utilizes an elevation turret&nbsp;situated&nbsp;on the top of the housing and a windage turret&nbsp;positioned&nbsp;on the right side.&nbsp;Adjusting the bullet&#8217;s point of impact is&nbsp;a matter of&nbsp;twisting these turrets accordingly. For instance, if the initial impact is high and to the right, adjustments are made by dialing down and to the left. Each click on the turrets corresponds to a 1.5 MOA movement in the bullet&#8217;s point of impact, meaning it takes&nbsp;10&nbsp;clicks at 10 yards to shift the point of impact by one 1.5 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3736-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A closeup of the turrets on the Holosun SCS Carry optic\" class=\"wp-image-201531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3736-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3736-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3736-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3736-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3736.jpg 1258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Turrets can be adjusted with a fine flathead screwdriver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The adjustments offer audible and tactile feedback. While there is a slight &#8220;mush&#8221; sensation between clicks, both turrets securely lock into place. These low-profile turrets help prevent accidental adjustments and can be easily adjusted using a flathead tool. However, it would have been beneficial if Holosun had provided etchings on the turrets for visual tracking of adjustments, requiring users to manually count clicks when sighting in the SCS Carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-glass\">Glass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared&nbsp;to other red dots available on the market, the clarity of the glass is quite clear. While many optics often display strong tints, the SCS Carry exhibits only a minimal purple hue. This remains consistent throughout the window. To illustrate its clarity in comparison to other optics, I have included an image below. Please note that any discrepancies in size among the optics in the image should be disregarded. The primary focus is on highlighting clarity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2-1024x685.jpeg\" alt=\"Looking through 8 different optics\" class=\"wp-image-201537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2-1024x685.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2-768x514.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2-1536x1027.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-output-2.jpeg 2046w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Comparing glass clarity and tint of multiple common red dots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-testing-the-scs-carry\">Testing the SCS Carry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to thoroughly examine whether the Holosun SCS Carry lived up to its &#8220;parallax-free&#8221; claim. This is a crucial factor for a red dot&#8217;s functionality. Ideally, the reticle should remain fixed regardless of where it&#8217;s viewed within the window. While I found it tracked well horizontally, it didn&#8217;t fare as well vertically. To test this, I set up a tape measure at 10 yards. I then and observed the SCS Carry through the bottom versus the top of the window. There was a noticeable 1.75&#8243; shift, translating to a vertical point of impact change. In terms of MOA, this represented a 17.5 MOA shift vertically and no shift horizontally. I&#8217;ve shared a video on my Instagram page to better illustrate as seen below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C6FHGx5LzKj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

To mitigate this, I would sight in the SCS Carry with the dot in the middle of the window. Then there will only be an 8.75 MOA shift vertically in either direction. When it comes to pistol shooting a maximum of 1.75&#8243; shift at 10 yards would hardly be noticeable to most people. Yet, it is something critical to note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another weird thing I noticed with the SCS carry is a strange double image. At first, I thought it was just astigmatism, and my eyes playing tricks on me. However, when I took pictures through the optic, my camera picked it up as well. I don&#8217;t have this issue with my Trijicon RMR, Vortex Defenders, or Eotech either. In&nbsp;person,&nbsp;it looks slightly more fuzzy than it should, but it is still totally useable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3760.jpg\" alt=\"The green light you can see through the Holosun SCS Carry \" class=\"wp-image-201539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3760.jpg 887w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3760-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3760-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3760-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All of my pictures through the SCS Carry looked like this.

The glass is recessed back from the housing to shield it. This helps when getting bumped around or used to rack the slide on a pistol. Throughout my testing and firing hundreds of either 12 gauge birdshot or slugs while mounted to the Mossberg 940 JM Pro, this optic never worked loose and held up great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-more-holosun-shot-show-2024-new-products\">SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/holosun-unveils-cutting-edge-lasers-flashlights-shot-show-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"holosun-scs-carry-review-no-more-replacing-batteries\" title=\"Holosun SCS Carry Review: No More Replacing Batteries?!\u00a0\">Holosun SHOT Show 2024 New Products<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3729-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"A shooter aiming his shotgun with the Holosun SCS Carry installed to the top\" class=\"wp-image-201540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3729-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3729-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3729-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3729-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3729.jpg 1496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting clays for the first time with a red dot on a shotgun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The clarity of the glass improved the target focus. The window also provided a clear field of view avoiding the feeling of tunnel vision many enclosed emitter optics create. I encountered no difficulties achieving a rapid sight picture during draws and transitions.&nbsp;Additionally,&nbsp;the small 2-MOA dot provides a fine aiming point. I used it to shoot slugs out to 100 yards, as well as burn down steel up close. I also used it for shooting clay pigeons which was a first for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Shotgun firing outside with Holosun SCS Carry on top\" class=\"wp-image-201541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3602.jpg 1768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting slugs with the SCS Carry mounted on the Mossberg 940 JM Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With an MSRP of $470 and a street price of around $400, <a href=\"https:\/\/holosun.com\/products\/reflex-sight\/scs\/scs-carry.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"holosun-scs-carry-review-no-more-replacing-batteries\" title=\"Holosun SCS Carry Review: No More Replacing Batteries?!\u00a0\">Holosuns SCS Carry<\/a> offers some unique features. This Solar Charging Sight offers unlimited runtime as long as it sees the sun occasionally. The size is perfect for concealed carrying, and utilizing the RMSc footprint allows the SCS Carry to be mounted to many current platforms.
