Just shot my competitor this afternoon. My gun does not seem to exhibit the end shake that is noticed on others. I am looking for red dot sight recommendations. I do have a M2.0 that I intend to leave stock. (Have always been a Trijicon believer and or Leupold brand person but willing to consider others.) Any suggestions? Would also be interested in the "why". Any suggestions are appreciated.
If your shooting skills are for defense or uspsa type shooting you should be useing a target focused style now with a flash of your sigths at longer yardages and can draw and raise your handgun to eye level on center of mass and NOT have the hunt for the sight alinement . If this is true pick and optic with a 6" dot , maybe 3" but remember a 6moa dot only shows about 1.5" of coverage at 25 yards . If used for hd defeense or carry needs buy a dot that you can see better in variable light conditions and with a lens tint that works in low light , Not all work well for this like our old RM02 . Open sigthts were better before needing a hand held or gun light light inside a house in near dusky dark conditions .
Try to test your self self to see what color dot you see best . You might find green works work better than red and if you deal with astigmatism it may work better too . Some dot models have auto adjust for britness of the dots and that can be a wanted option .
If someone is red green color blind there also a yellow dot by holosun at least and the tijicon dual illumination is NOT a good all around choice !
When I was shooting uspsa the last time I used a RM02 dot on a n upgraded M&P core. But I knew that optics short comings and when it was moved to a HD or fun use handgun a holosun green circle dot replaced the RMR .
I started hunting with a dot optic on revolver in '90 using a 2 moa red Ultra Dot in revolver . It still serves me will today but as a offensive dot optic . I can turn the intensity down on to shoot very well with still but its a better bullseye type dot optic .
With the Circle Dot options red or green the holosun 32moa circle works well for typical defensive distance but still only covers a 8" circle at 25 yards so depending on your skills ringing a 6" steels might be easy and fun to do with it . The 2moa dot with or with out the circle works very well if shooting at or beyond 25 yards even at 50 yards .
So we have 3 holosun green circle dots today as my wife also has 25 years shooting dot optics on 22lr pistols and th m&p core and also likes green over red and I have the same dot optic on a m&p 4"compact pistol I practice and play with to stay sharp with it . I may carry it one day but even wearing trifocals that time is not here yet .
Good luck with your choice. many good dots toay for match and target shooting , A few less for CC duty .
) works very well. Good glass, good dot, good holding zero & a good warranty as well.
