I've narrowed down my choices (I think) between these two red dots for my PC carbine 9mm. I mainly use this as a fun gun at the range, at distances of up to 50 yards or so.
My criteria on choosing a red dot are as follows:
1) Not made in China
2) 3 MOA red dot or less (2 MOA is preferred)
3) Under $200 or so
So I ended up with these two choices. My concern with the Fastfire III is that the red dot might "wash out" in bright sun because there is no real "tube" that it sits in for shading, but it's very light. However, my understanding is that it's really designed for use on handguns, hence the light weight and 3 MOA red dot (vs. 2 MOA for the RD).
My only real concern with the Fastfire RD is that it's a bit heavy at 6 oz, but a difference of 3 oz. is no big deal. I've used a Bushnell TRS-25 in the past on other guns and liked it, but have ruled it out for various reasons.

I'm leaning toward the RD, but have never even seen or tried a red dot like the Fastfire III.
Any of you have a recommendation on which of these two would be best for my PC carbine, based on actual experience with these two red dots, or scopes similar to these two (not hearsay)?
Thanks
