New for 2026, Confidence Through Control in Enclosed Pistol Optic: The Holosun EPS-CORE
City of Industry, CA – Duty pistols and defensive firearms demand an optic that performs regardless of weather, carry conditions, or lighting. The EPS-CORE was developed in response to that reality. Instead of optimizing for range conditions or ideal lighting, this enclosed pistol sight focuses on consistency, protecting the emitter, stabilizing the sight picture, and maintaining reticle clarity when a pistol is drawn from concealment or holstered through long shifts. The EPS-CORE takes this philosophy forward, offering enclosed performance explicitly shaped for environments where debris, moisture, and unpredictable lighting can compromise open-reflex optics.
The EPS-CORE is built around a clean 3 MOA dot housed inside a compact, fully enclosed 7075-T6 aluminum chassis. The design shields the emitter from sweat, rain, dust, and environmental debris, which can often blur or obscure the reticle on open designs. This makes the CORE especially suited for concealed carry, duty holsters, or any role where a pistol is routinely exposed to the elements. The window geometry provides a stable and predictable sight picture, supporting fast alignment under stress, and the K-series footprint ensures compatibility with many modern carry pistols.
The EPS-CORE relies on a forward-facing light sensor, enabling the reticle to respond to the target environment rather than the shooter's surroundings. This is particularly valuable in self-defense contexts where a bright exterior doorway, dim interior room, or angled light source can otherwise wash out a dot set to the wrong intensity. With Shake Awake™, long battery life, and a protected side-loading tray, the EPS-CORE prioritizes readiness: it remains dormant when holstered and becomes active the moment the pistol is moved.
The EPS-CORE provides defensive shooters with simplicity and structured support, while maintaining the durability and environmental control that enclosed emitters are known for. Whether carried daily or issued for defensive readiness, the EPS-CORE offers reliability shaped around real-world conditions where clarity, power, and consistency matter most.
