Default Red dot covers

I saw these on another forum. I've needed some of these for my FF3's. They will be great to keep the glass clean, especially when cleaning the gun.

Cool, they look 3D printed, or from a 3D printed mold.

After watching their video I think I would prefer the softer ones. I think the harder ones might scratch the dot sight if grit is between the cover and the sight. I used a Kydex holster with my 642 for one day and it ruined the finish.

Yes correct, 3D printed I believe.
The RP optic covers have a bit more backbone and I think protects the whole optic a bit better. Either will help protect the glass though.

Default I have a couple of Kahles Helia RDS's on two of my guns.

They are an excellent optic and they come with nicely made covers.

What I want to find are actual see through covers, like they have for rifle scopes. The one I tried that claimed to be see through wasn't.
