I have always thought that a scope on a handgun was awkward at best, and tends to defeat the purpose of a handgun. Makes some sense on something like a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter model or others used for hunting where you want to increase the useable range of the gun.
For any self defense use which is almost always close, a scope is just in the way.

Unless you have some visual imparement which requires you to use an optical sight system, first learn to use the sights that came on the gun. Pay an instructor for a few hours of his/her time and it will pay big dividends in the long run.
In other words learn the basics, before adding gimcracks & gehaws....

I shoot for fun
I shoot for fun and all that stuff would just get in the way for me. And I think that bracket to mount the scope is bogus. Kind of like having an airfoil installed on the back of the family car. It looks ok (maybe) in the picture but I'll bet when you are actually handling the gun, putting it down, picking it up, loading and unloading, it will become very clumsy.

A complete and total waste of money. You'll find that once you get the scope or what ever you put on it sighted in, once you remove the mount to clean the handgun, it will need sighted in again. Not only that...it's *****!!
