Holosun AEMS MACRO

The AEMS MACRO drops directly onto any slide cut for the Holosun 509T footprint. If your slide is cut for the Trijicon RMR instead, the included RMR-to-509T adapter plate bridges the gap, though it raises the optic and adds two screw interfaces to torque. Mount directly to a native 509T cut whenever the slide supports it.

Holosun specifies a 15 inch-pound clamp torque on the optic screws with blue (removable) threadlocker. Skipping the threadlocker is the single most common cause of a pistol dot walking loose under recoil. Use the T10 driver from the included multi-tool and a calibrated inch-pound wrench.

The AEMS MACRO ships mechanically centered from the factory and adjusts in 0.5 MOA per click with a total travel range of plus or minus 50 MOA. Elevation and windage turrets are driven with the included multi-tool. At a 10-yard pistol zero, one click moves point of impact roughly 0.05 inches, so expect to use clicks in groups.

Zero from a stable rest, not freehand. A bag or a barricade removes the wobble that masks where the optic is actually pointing.

The AEMS MACRO runs two buttons on the side of the housing. A momentary press of either plus or minus button wakes the optic; from there plus and minus step through 12 brightness levels, 8 daylight settings and 4 night-vision settings. The Solar Failsafe panel keeps a usable reticle lit if the CR1632 battery dies, so the optic is never fully dark in daylight.

The Multi-Reticle System cycles between the 2 MOA dot, the 32 MOA circle, and the combined circle-dot. Shake Awake puts the optic to sleep after a period of stillness and instantly relights it on motion, and the lockout function freezes your settings so a bump in a holster cannot change brightness or reticle.
