Advice needed re: Sig Optics WHISKEY5 1-5x24

I'm considering this optic for a 10.5 inch barrel 5.56 AR pistol build. I am looking for advice from anyone who has used these optics. I am particularly wondering if the red dot is bright enough to be seen easily. I am used to using Aimpoint Comp M4 and Aimpoint PRO and am pleased with the brightness/definition of the red dot, but have been disappointed by Burris and Vortex red dot sights (red dot not as easy to see, particularly outside during the daytime).
Thanks!

Those lpvo or scopes are not ment to be run as a red dot. They are scope and a reticle needs to be used, however you can use the red illuminated center as a red dot in x1 power for a quick and close snap shot. Some of us also use it as a red dot by closing the front flip up cover on the front and run it with both eyes open. But the primary use of those are to be used as a scope.
