The Holosun AEMS Macro Gold Dot Sight (AEMS-MACRO-GD) is an enclosed-emitter gold dot sight with Holosun's Multi-Reticle System — a 2 MOA gold dot, a 32 MOA circle, or both as a circle-dot — behind a 0.9 × 0.9 in (23 × 23 mm) window, weighing 2.5 oz (71 g) and using the AEMS Macro footprint.
It brings the large-window AEMS sight picture down to pistol scale: the window is noticeably bigger than a typical mini reflex, so the sight is easier to pick up with both eyes open. Gold sits between red and green and gives strong contrast against bright, washed-out daylight backgrounds. The sealed emitter keeps the reticle clear of dust, lint and rain, and Solar Failsafe, Shake Awake and Lock Mode back a CR1632 cell rated for up to 100,000 hours. The 7075 aluminium housing is IPX8 rated and tested to 5000G of vibration.
How It Compares
The same sight is offered as the AEMS Macro red dot sight and the AEMS Macro green dot sight. For the smallest enclosed sight in the family see the AEMS Micro gold dot sight, which is lighter again and takes an RMSc adapter plate, or step across to the EPS Carry red dot sight for a native RMSc footprint that needs no adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What footprint does the Holosun AEMS Macro Gold Dot Sight use, and will it fit my slide?
The Holosun AEMS Macro Gold Dot Sight uses the AEMS Macro footprint, and it is compatible with a 509T adapter plate for wider mounting options. Check your slide cut or adapter plate against that footprint before ordering.
What battery does the Holosun AEMS Macro take and how long does it last?
The Holosun AEMS Macro runs on a single CR1632 coin cell and is rated for up to 100,000 hours. Solar Failsafe supplements the cell in daylight, and Shake Awake switches the reticle off when the gun is still and wakes it the instant it moves.
What reticles does the Holosun AEMS Macro Gold Dot Sight offer?
The Holosun AEMS Macro Gold Dot Sight uses Holosun's Multi-Reticle System, which switches between a 2 MOA gold dot on its own, a 32 MOA circle on its own, and both together as a circle-dot.
Is the Holosun AEMS Macro enclosed, and how tough is it?
Yes, the Holosun AEMS Macro has a fully enclosed emitter. The 7075 aluminium housing is rated IPX8 for water immersion and tested to 5000G of vibration, so rain, dust and lint cannot reach the emitter and block the reticle.
Should I choose the AEMS Macro or the AEMS Micro?
Choose the AEMS Macro for the larger 0.9 × 0.9 in (23 × 23 mm) window and the faster sight picture that comes with it. Choose the AEMS Micro if you want the smallest and lightest enclosed option, at 0.71 × 0.71 in (18 × 18 mm) and 2.1 oz (60 g).
Is the Holosun AEMS Macro night-vision compatible?
Yes. The Holosun AEMS Macro has 12 brightness settings, of which 8 are daylight settings and 4 are night-vision compatible, so the reticle can be dimmed far enough to use behind a night vision device.
