Thanks! Last year (I'm fairly new to guns), I never thought I'd ever have more guns than kids. But now with 3 pistols, the Colt, and my M1, my guns (5) outnumber my boys (3)! : ) And I haven't even purchased the .22 and shotgun I need...um, I mean want.

So far so good. I haven't had too many chances to shoot it. Yes I got a new AR, but also got a new baby at just about the same time. So time is tight. I also, over the summer, bought a vintage M1 Garand so I've spent some time playing with that. So yes, so far I love it, but with that said...

Wow, great feedback everyone. I really appreciate it. Sky, thanks for that link. I've already started perusing through it. I did look for existing threads but somehow missed this one. Probably b/c I searched for scope instead of red dot. Learning, learning...

Sorry, looking for a holographic/red dot.

I just pulled the trigger on my first AR15. My Colt LE6920 is on the way and now I want to get a holographic/red dot for it. I know little to nothing about scopes (I am doing research but still learning) so I'm looking for some help here. My only experience with scopes is shooting a friend's...

Just an update.. after hearing all sides, I decided to go out and see availability to see if that would help my decision. Maybe it was just when I looked but both were basically out of stock everywhere I looked. Even some of the links given here, when I went on, stated OUT OF STOCK. In...

First off, thanks. Second..OK, forget I asked. I will not make this thread even more convoluted. And make me even more confused. : ) I'm sticking to the 6920 if going with a Colt.

Is the 6720 much different than the 6920?

Again, good in depth stuff. If I do end up leaning towards the Colt, any idea where I can get one for a decent price? Somewhere that has them in stock?

Good stuff. Appreciate the in depth analysis.

Not to throw a wrench into this debate (because it sure has been interesting), I went down to my local gun shop to look around and hold a few. They did not have either the M&P or the 6920 in stock and said they are pretty backordered. He did have a Rock River LAR-15 tactical which he...

Or maybe buy both!! : )

Originally I had no interest in building, then after reading posts, I got intrigued. But I think I'm back to buying. I figure I'd rather buy a rifle, shoot it, learn it, disassemble it etc. in an effort to begin to learn about the AR. Keep in mind, I know nothing about these now. It's sort...

No closing yet! I am still learning! : )

Thanks Gunny. And before I forget, thanks to everyone for their replies. I can see this is a pretty controversial topic, as are many gun topics! Thanks.
