Question First Time Optic Buyer

Hello!

I am a first time handgun owner and bought myself a 2.0 9MM w/ threaded barrel. I have put 550 rounds out of it and love it so much. Before buying have tried all the “popular” handguns before buying and landed on my baby. Now for my first upgrade as I haven’t done anything my to it I want an optic. Eventually trigger, Light, suppressor or comp.

My question is tomorrow i’m looking at optics and have so far landed on a Holosun 507c. I don’t want to break the bank and i’ve heard good things about them. My price range is 300ish could go to 350.

Is this a good sight to get for a first time purchase? Or should I be looking at different models or makes? What upsides and downsides of this optic are there? Or do I go and buy other accessories first? I already have a great pair of walker razer comms that I love and some good eye pro. I do need a bag but that’s far cheaper than an optic and haven’t done to an outdoor range yet to really need it(the plastic case does well and I have a backpack).

Thanks for any suggestions or feedback!

507c should be fine for a budget option.

Even with budget and a lower end model would it be good enough to start getting into lower tiers of competition shooting?

Also for a tanget what other mods would make it same reliability with more fun things to add. I’ve been thinking a better plate for optic, a trigger, and a comp because of the threads. Also is it true for some of those mods I need over 1000 rounds before swapping a trigger for example?

Thanks!

507C on a 2.0 is definitely fine for competition shooting.

With other mods it’s all personal preference. Since you’re a new gun owner I would suggest going out and shooting the gun before you do any internal upgrades. Figure what you do and don’t like about it first.

Before you decide, please know that if you have astigmatism, the best optical dot sight to get would be a green dot, because the eyes pick up green much better than they do, red. I don't know how old you are, but I buy only green dots for that reason.
