Holosun Paralow HE403R-GD Elite

About the Paralow series

Paralow is one of the red dot sight series made by Holosun. On the outside, these small tube sights are very familiar to the Micro red dot sights made by the famous Swedish red dot sight manufacturing company. The illumination is powered by a CR2032 battery. The click value for the elevation and windage adjustments is 0.5 MOA. These durable red dot sights feature a single-piece housing made out of aluminum. Altogether, there are 12 illumination intensity levels to choose from, 2 of which are NVD compatible. The battery life is 50.000 hours.

About the 'Elite' models

The Elite series is distinguished by its green or gold LED emitter. At the moment, every model from the 'Elite' series features either green or gold illumination. This is a welcome upgrade for shooters who have problems seeing the red colour. Additionally, some of the models are made (or partially made) of titanium. Titanium has been gaining on popularity in the red dot sight market because it is strong, lightweight and more resistant to corrosion than aluminium.

About the model family

The 403 is one of the model families in the Paralow series. The first number '4' in its name suggests that it features a 2 MOA dot. The second number '0' implies that the product comes with standard accessories (without honeycomb filter, quick-release mount and flip-up lens covers).

About the product (HE403R-GD)

HE403R-GD is a red dot sight of the Paralow series.
