I can only say that I have Nikon VSD that has served me extremely well on a Remington 870 shooting heavy 3 1/2" loads.
Enjoying Each Sunrise...

I like the Burris Fast Fire2 reflex style sight. I have the regular Fast Fire on an 1187SM and just purchased the FF2 for an 870SM. I'm going with the Marlin 336 base instead of the weaver on the 870 for the lower mount and much nicer look of the 336 mount.
I prefer the reflex style sights as they seem to be much faster, lighter, and more FOV.
Good Luck

IF I were to mount glass on my shotgun the Burris Fast Fire II would be my choice.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I have never shot a truglo but after using eotechs on ar-15's, then the burris speedbead/fastfire on shotguns. I'd have to say the burris is head and shoulders above the rest as far as weight and size, I smoked 7 deer running in front of hounds this year with a speedbead on a benelli m2. Now I am buying another for an older sbe. It solves alot of poi issues with shotguns and incredibly fast.

MNds, If you read enough reviews on the TGs or talk to enough people that use them, they often have a pretty high failure rate. They do have a newer model reflex that's pretty pricey, but I would go with the FF before the TG.
TG makes great FO sights for shotguns and bows, but their scopes and red dots are more along tasco lines.
Good Luck

The only cheap dot sight I've heard anything good about is the Bushnell. I don't care for cheap optics due to past experiences, but there are alot of folks that swear by the Bushnell red dots.
I had a cheapie cost me a heck of a buck years ago and I've never went that route again. My bud John had a cheap BSA red dot fail just before he flew to Texas on a hunt. He was scrambling to find another red dot and get to the range before he left. That cheap red dot had given him a couple years of flawless service, then it failed at a bad time.
TG does have a lifetime wtty, so I guess you can send it back if it breaks. Hopefuly that doesn't happen when a 12" swinger is strutting at 30yds.
Good Luck

Buy the good stuff once, and be done with it, or buy schit over and over, betting on warranties, repairs, and replacements.
