I went to a red dot because my eyes couldn’t see the irons well, extremely fuzzy in good light and hard to see in lower light period.
I wear readers.
I didn’t want to have to wear glasses or contacts to shoot
Accurately.
The red dot solved that problem very well but you have to put in the work to get familiar with it.
Trijicon RMRcc with 6.5MOA dot
When carrying, I’ve never noticed that I’m carrying an rmr. I think it weighs 1-2oz and my slide cut is low so I don’t even need suppressor height sights to co-witness.
The dot does take some time to acquire effectively, quickly. Practicing at the range and practicing my presentation at home has helped a ton.
The best reticle to get for this (which trijicon doesn’t offer), is the acss Vulcan …. The large circle disappears when centered but when presented off-axis provides a quick way to identify where the dot is and how to get it centered
