I've fallen in love with the DocterOptics red dot. It looks extremely sleek and low profile. However, it's out of my price range. ($300 + mount + gunsmithing)
So, I wanted you to either convince me it's worth it. Or help me out with some other, cheaper solutions.
The B-Square mount ($75) would save gunsmithing costs, and with a cheap $60 red dot, it would be the cheapest solution I've found. I am not sure if this mount is "ring-only" or if the rings are detachable (mounted on rail). Allowing a rail mounting red dot to be used. Anyone know? I hope that made sense. I've emailed them and am waiting on a response.
What about having a gunsmith install integral rail on top of the slide, to allow mounting of a small red dot? I know I'd feel better using something like that, as opposed to the B-Square.
Anyways, any opinions on the B-Square? What are the possibilities of having a local gunsmith installing a 3/8" rail on my slide? Estimated cost?
And out of curiousity, do you prefer the tube style red-dot or the glass/plastic pane style?
This is for my full size USP .45
