Red Dots

Read my first post on the issue. There is a time an place for them..you have to figure if the times and places are going to work in your favor. Military wouldn't use 'em unless they worked...well most of the time that is true..just not with the 9mm Handgun LOL About the time or place yo need the other type of sight is when ya won't have it. Personally I have no use for holo sights

I put a red dot on my Ruger .22 Standard auto and really like it. I didn't realize just how well these things would allow you to shoot. It's great for squirrel hunting, particularly in relatively low light situations. A lot of the guys at my shooting club have mounted them on rifles and all I have spoken with really love them. The only problem is you need to be careful to turn off the dot when you are finished shooting. Leaving it on will run the battery down fairly quickly and replacements are pricey and sometimes hard to find.
