Holosun SHOT Show 2026: HM3X-MICRO, IRIS-ARC & New X3 Optics

The HM3X-MICRO represents Holosun's answer to demand for a smaller magnifier option. Designed specifically to pair with compact pistol-style red dots mounted on rifles or PCCs, it offers 3x magnification in a reduced footprint.

This fills a gap for shooters running compact optics like the 407K or 507K on rifle platforms who want magnification without the bulk of a full-size magnifier like the HM3X or HM3XT.

Building on the IRIS platform, the IRIS-ARC introduces a refined form factor for IR laser and illuminator capability. Holosun continues pushing into the night vision accessory market with competitive pricing against established players.

The ARC designation suggests an emphasis on ergonomics and integration, likely featuring improved button placement and cable-ready interfaces for remote switches. Full specifications are expected closer to production release.

The EPS-CORE brings enclosed emitter technology to a lower price point. While the standard EPS and EPS Carry have been popular for their sealed design that prevents debris from blocking the emitter, pricing has kept some shooters on open-emitter options.

CORE models typically strip features to hit price targets while maintaining core functionality. Expect the EPS-CORE to retain the enclosed emitter benefit with potentially fewer brightness settings, simpler reticle options, or reduced battery life.

The 407COMP addresses a specific market: pistols with integrated or attached compensators. The design accounts for the different mounting position and sight picture requirements when a comp extends the slide forward.

The X3 generation updates bring incremental improvements to Holosun's most popular pistol optic platforms. Both the 407C and 507C receive the X3 treatment with enhanced glass clarity and refined emitter technology.

The X3 designation continues Holosun's generational naming convention. Previous X2 models improved on the original designs, and X3 represents further refinement rather than revolutionary changes.

The 507 PROMAX offers an enlarged window for shooters who want more viewing area than standard compact optics provide. This positions between the compact 507C and full-size rifle optics, targeting PCC shooters and those preferring larger pistol optics.

Expect the Multi-Reticle System, shake-awake, and solar backup features from the 507 line, scaled up with a larger housing and window.

Holosun expands their integrated laser concept with DUAL variants of the AEMS and ARO platforms. These combine the optic with visible and/or IR laser capability in a single unit, reducing accessory count for users who want pointing options.

This follows the trend of consolidating capabilities seen throughout the industry, though questions remain about durability and zero maintenance when combining optics and lasers in one housing.
