What’s better red dot or holographic?
Red dot sights require your eye to move back and forth between the optical plane and the target plane, but holo-sights allow you to focus on both the target AND reticle at the same time. This makes them much less susceptible to parallax distortion. Most operators prefer holographic sights for exactly this reason.
