About the Holosun 515GM

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

The letter 'G' means that the battery compartment of the red dot sight is on the right side of the device, under a round-shaped cover. Also, it lacks a solar panel, which is why this model has buttons for the regulation of illumination intensity on the top instead of on the side. The letter 'M' means that this is a military-grade red dot sight, manufactured from a CNC milled 7075 Aluminium with a hard-anodized finish.

HS515GM red dot sight features the ShakeAwake function. When left powered on, the device will go from 'active mode' to 'sleep mode' after a while to prevent unnecessary battery drain. Once moved, it will power back on immediately.

About the 515 red dot sight family

Holosun 515GM MOA red dot is one of the model families in the Paralow series. The first number '5' in its name suggests that the user can switch between a 2 MOA dot and a 2 MOA dot surrounded by a 65 MOA circle. The second number '1' implies that the product comes with upgraded accessories (honeycomb filter, quick-release mount, flip-up lens covers).

Mounting on 515GM MOA red dot

These small tube sights come with a high mount for an AR platform (lower 1/3 co-witness) and a low mount for other mounting purposes (such as mounting on a rifle).
