Description
Never worry about replacing batteries again with this solar-powered enclosed optic designed specifically for concealed carry pistols.
Eliminate battery anxiety from your everyday carry setup. The Holosun SCS Carry Green combines solar charging technology with an enclosed emitter design, delivering a maintenance-free red dot experience for sub-compact handguns. Its green reticle offers superior visibility in various lighting conditions, while the automatic brightness adjustment ensures optimal performance without manual intervention. With the enclosed design protecting the emitter from dust, rain, and debris, this optic provides reliable performance regardless of environmental conditions.
Key Features
- Solar Charging System: Multi-directional light sensors continuously recharge the internal 20,000-hour battery faster than it depletes, enabling indefinite operation with regular exposure to ambient or natural light
- Enclosed Emitter Protection: Fully sealed housing shields the LED emitter from environmental elements, including dust, dirt, rain, and snow, ensuring consistent reticle projection
- Green Multi-Reticle System: Choose between a 2 MOA dot for precision, a 32 MOA circle for rapid target acquisition, or both combined for maximum versatility
- Universal Compact Compatibility: K-Series footprint with included RMSc adapter plate fits most popular sub-compact pistols, including Sig P365, Springfield Hellcat, and Glock 43X/48 MOS
Important Compatibility Notes
- Glock 43X/48 MOS: Requires the included RMSc adapter plate due to rear recoil lugs on the slide. The optic can’t direct-mount to these models without the plate or slide modification.
- Direct Mount Compatible Pistols: Sig P365 series, Ruger Max-9, S&W Equalizer, and FN Reflex MRD can mount directly to the K-footprint without the adapter plate for a lower profile.
- Some aftermarket adapter plates from manufacturers like CHPWS or DPP may provide better fitment for specific applications, though the included plate works for all RMSc-footprint pistols.
- Optic sits approximately 0.95 inches tall, which may require suppressor-height or taller iron sights for co-witness on some platforms.
Why We Carry It
The human eye is approximately six times more sensitive to green light compared to red, making green reticles significantly easier to acquire in varied lighting conditions. The Holosun SCS Carry exclusively uses green illumination to leverage this biological advantage, providing faster target acquisition for defensive situations. This optic represents a significant evolution in pistol red dot technology by eliminating the most common failure point—battery replacement—while maintaining the durability and reliability demanded by concealed carry applications. The rechargeable battery system charges faster than it drains in virtually any lighting condition, even indoors under artificial light.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the solar charging work in low light or when stored in a safe?
The SCS Carry features an internal rechargeable battery with a 20,000-hour power reserve (approximately 2+ years of continuous runtime when fully charged). The solar panel recharges this battery when exposed to natural or artificial light, charging faster than the optic consumes power. If stored in a dark safe for extended periods, the battery will gradually deplete, but regular exposure to light during range sessions or daily carry is sufficient to maintain the charge indefinitely. A low battery indicator provides advanced warning before power depletion occurs.
Can I manually adjust the brightness, or is it only automatic?
The SCS Carry operates exclusively in automatic brightness mode, which uses multi-directional light sensors to adjust reticle intensity based on ambient light conditions. While there is no manual brightness control like traditional red dots, you can temporarily override the auto-brightness by quick-pressing the function button, which locks the optic into high-brightness mode for 30 minutes. This is useful for indoor range shooting or transitioning between vastly different lighting environments.
What happens if the internal battery eventually fails after years of use?
The internal rechargeable battery is not user-replaceable. However, Holosun covers the optic under a limited lifetime warranty for the housing and optical systems, with a 3-year warranty on electronic components from the date of purchase. If the battery fails or no longer holds a charge, the optic must be sent to Holosun for warranty service.
