About the product Holosun 515CM

Holosun 515CM is a red dot sight of the Paralow series.

The letter 'C' means that the Holosun sight features a solar panel on top – the MOA circle dot can work without the battery inserted when there is sufficient lighting. The letter 'M' means that this Holosun sight is a military-grade red dot sight, manufactured from a CNC milled 7075 Aluminum with a hard-anodized finish.

This Holosun red dot features the ShakeAwake function. When left powered on, the sight will go from 'active mode' to 'sleep mode' after a while to prevent unnecessary battery drain. Once moved, the sight will power back on immediately.
