I've had a number of less expensive red dots over the years- all of which have ended up being junk. Sadly - the stores here carry the $30 variety tubes - and the $400 variety - AR monster units that's it.
looking for some suggestions on some red dots for a couple of uses. something that won't break the bank as I'm going to likely buy several
going to mount them to a S&W22 victory, and a new ruger PC9, and a canik tp9sfx
probably get another one to mount to the 357 revolver in time
I do a lot of bullseye shooting indoors, but last weekend I participated in a bowling pin shoot. what a hoot that was. my best was 5 pins in 3.9 seconds with the canik and open sights. (which I was personally stoked about- but I was a full second off 1st place) all the top times were were held by the guys with red dots.
Personally I've never looked at them much. The tube style ones seem okay for bullseye type stuff, but the only ones I saw yesterday were the large rectangular window styles.
And - the MOA readings. what's good and bad. my thinking is all based on bullseye stuff. so i want the tiniest and clearest dot available - but there's not really a lot of sub moa or 1 moa dots out there...but I don't think that will translate well outside in the sun competing for speed.
the $30 ones held up ok on the 22 before, but were kinda heavy - and both of them busted within 6 rounds when mounted to the 357.
Thoughts???
