It is a mental game so if you are confident in your optic regardless of brand it makes a big difference.

That statement is very important to understand. Do not blame the optic if you can not find the dot.
You need irons setup with the proper co-witness and practice. With a good co-witness the dot will appear by your iron front sight and you eye will learn to automatically switch from seeing the iron to the dot but it all takes some time and practice.

Appreciate all the input. I don't believe my optic is the problem at all. I really like the Holosun 507C quite a lot.

It's practice I need. My presentation is too darned inconsistent. Working, working,working on it now. Getting better...just not fast enough for my tastes. I'm used to learning a lot faster. LOL

I have a significant amount of rounds with iron sights, but when I switched to Trijicon RMR's on my pistol 4 years ago I found I was both quicker on target and more accurate. Just takes practice like most people on here have mentioned.
