Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Reflex Sites - What size dot?

Excellent shooting!

Been using dots since Aimpoint came out with them 50 years ago. Competition, target, hunting. Smaller dot may give smaller groups used of a rest, but over all the bigger dots work better. Biggest advantage of dots are for fast follow up shots. Sort of the old German cross hair argument. (Not getting into low recoil NFA select fire weapons here). Most problems with shooters and dots is the shooter trying to center the dot in the field of view, much like a peep site. Learn to shoot with it at any location in the field of view.

What do you want quick acquisition or precise shooting?
This is a 6.5 moa dot at 10 yards, 5 shots at a pretty good pace. I’m not sure for my purposes how much more precise I’d need to be at rational self-defense distances

That’s not much of a “flyer”. 😁
