Dot optics ?

[4t5]

What color and size do you guys run ? , I want to put one on a mark III .22 lr, this will my first dot sight.
Probably will shoot 50 yds and less , may shoot in plate matches with my son-in-law.
Think I prefer green.

I have a dot on a .22 pistol, had one on an AR and trying one on an air rifle at the moment. All are red

Gunny , what size dots did you get ?

I like 1 minute dots!
Have three of various makes.

To be honest, I don't know! These dot sites are at least 20yrs old- no idea where the paperwork is for each!

The one I put on my airgun, I believe is a Sightmark( cheapo) and the dot is as big as a chipmunk at 20yards!!

I experimented with one on my Ruger RXM but got the larger size dot (Shield Sights RMSc with 8 moa dot) - Wish I'd gotten a smaller one, and it is also a bit too bright when outside in the sun. Good indoors though. I may wind up putting it on my Ruger Mk3/45. Even with the larger dot, I find I just don't acquire the proper sight picture reflexively; no good if you have to hunt-around for the dot to shoot.

Honestly I decided I prefer my Marble's "Bullseye" setup for pistols as well as carbines - I can acquire them MUCH faster since you start seeing the 'dot' before you're even close to lined-up. (Plus way less cost and more durable).

I run a red Sig Romeo on my P320 (which still hasn't attacked anyone by itself - weird, huh?). I also run a Holoson green "dot" on my 2011. I prefer the latter - green is easier for me to see in bright daylight conditions. I also like the "reticle" (think scope-like; a circle in a cross) over a simple dot. Easier to pick up and you instinctively just center the circle on what you are shooting.

I have a big ol' EoTech with a reticle like that - pretty fast to use (but the older EoTech's are huge).

As far as the SIG 320, I think if you check the play between the slide and frame, and make sure the sear/striker engagement is adequate, that would be reassuring. At least that's the way it seems looking at the 'troubleshooting' videos. I do like the Glock design though, where the striker is not fully retracted until you pull the (heavy and gritty) trigger. Better than either though - a nicely tuned 1911...!

I've shot the Holosun 507C Green with the 2-minute/32-minute reticle with good results. Green is better for daylight and competition, red for low-light conditions.

I only have one "dot" sight, a 1-6X on an AR. Turn the knob one way & it's green, the other is red... I almost always turn to red. I don't remember the size, maybe .2 mil, but I got the smallest I could find, I had a ½ mil size once, and it seemed like it pretty much covered up whatever I was aiming at.

Agreed. Though I love my .45's, and have no problem with a double-stack .45, I have become very fond of the 2011 design, especially with the slide-cut for optics. Hard to beat especially with modern defensive 9mm ammo being so good.
