I'm about to put one of my 507 Comps on mine, but the SCS is intriguing. I've discovered I really like the larger window, though I also prefer optics that mount as low as possible. It'd be perfect if the SCS had an option for a slightly taller window. Also not sure why they only offer it in green; Red works much better for my eyes and is pretty standard from my experience.
 
I'll be installing a Holosun 507 Comp on my PDP Pro SD that's coming in Monday. I also have two other Holosun 407C's on two Glocks. I have a greed 407C and find that it doesn't really matter to me if the dot is red or greed. I've shot 2000 rounds with Holosun's on pistols and have over 6k rounds through a Holosun 512C on a 5.5" AR9. Every bit of my experience with Holosun has been excellent.

My issue with the SCS is the small window and that you cannot adjust the brightness. One of the features I originally really liked with the Holosun was the auto-brightness. It's a neat feature but I've gotten in the habit of adjusting it manually to satisfy various lighting conditions. One or two clicks up or down normally makes the dot ideal for me. I probably need to give the auto adjust another try.

I had a 19 with an SCS on it. I love the low profile but hated the small window and lack of adjustability.

What it was doing under stress was causing me to look at the dot, and not the target and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. It is a slightly better option of looking at the front sight of iron sights

I've come to appreciate the 407c/507c manual adjustability. My next G19 or G45 will have one of those mounted on top

That makes sense to me. I've shot a Glock 43x with a 407k(small window like the SCS) and did pretty good with it but this was after hundreds of dry fire draws and presentations in addition to the 2000 rounds with the 407c/507c size window. But I believe the larger window helps the shooter acquire the dot faster(less time spent looking for the dot).

Just so I'm not confused: are we saying that all Holosun models will mount directly to a Walther PDP v. 2 without an adapter plate?
 
Holosun SCS. Custom fit for a PDP.

No question. Sits low enough cowitness without anything else needed. No plates needed. Direct mount to a PDP cut styled 2.0.

Solar powered, no battery to replace. 20,000hrs without a recharge. I

Mine has been flawless up to this point.

Best place to buy it is freedomgorilla, imho.
Holosun SCS is tits for looks. Id go either that, or go big with a Trijicon SRO.

Just ordered a Holosun SCS PDP-GR from Midway USA. They had it marked down to $297, from a "list" price of $411 and their "Our Price" of $349. I'm looking forward to shooting my PDP compact with this sight. The only red dot (this one is green) I've ever shot with is mounted to my Ruger Mini 14 and it made a big positive difference in my accuracy.

Just received my new Holosun SCS (green dot) for my Walther PDP 4 Compact, from MidwayUSA. It had to ship ground because of its lithium battery (apparently that is considered a fire hazard. Glad I don't own a lithium powered vehicle).

Happily, this is the updated version with the "scalloped" front

corners to match the pistol. It surprised me with how small it really is. Picture attached. Will post a range report once I have it mounted and have given it a workout.

I own 2, one being on a F 3.5. The only downside to me is that in bright light it would be nice to have more than high and low. It’ my first, and second green dot. I liked them enough that I put a green 507 Comp on my 5” SF gun.

Mounted the Holosun SCS Green on my PDP 4 compact this afternoon. Pictures attached. It looks great. We'll see if it shoots great.

A lot of talk on here about the size of the window, but the reality is that if you are training with your red dot - and you need to regularly - and your technique is good, that dot is always going to be there regardless of the size of the window. In fact, all you should be seeing is the dot, the frame of the window should be a non-factor.

I whole heartedly recommend a good red dot training course. I’ve trained with Scott Jedlinski’s guys and it was invaluable.

 
I also have a astigmatism and have red dots on HG's, 9mm carbines, Ar-15's and dedicated turkey shotguns and yes the dots "starburst" but they work well enough to kill turkeys at 60+ yards and hit 3" clay birds at 25 yards with my MK IV's and hit 8" and 10" steel plates at 100yds with my 9mm carbines and AR's.
I put an Ameriglo Haven 3.5moa RD on my 4" PDP C and like it very much. Paid under $200 for it they are on sale now at Buds.
Here is a link and pic of today's target. This is only my second group I have shot with this gun and sight.
