Ditto, Just get an UltraDot even though they are bit pricey, for a few reasons. I happen to have 2--an UltraDot MatchDot, 30mm with 4 dot sizes. I like the smallest 2mm dot. If I'm having a bad day and shooting, say, a tad low and left, I can actually aim a bit high and right at the bull to compensate. I also have a smaller 1" Ultradot too.
Other reasons; They are RUGGED--many people mount the on the slide of their 1911's, and they just keep on ticking so they're certainly going to hold up on a 22.
Also, the dot is round--no distortion and no funny tails or trailers on it.
If you feel you HAVE to have an open sight, be aware of a few things; The LED radius is shorter and they often sit higher, whereas you want the dot to be as close to the bore line as possible. If you MUST get an open one, the only one I've seen that holds up is the Burris unit. But then again, they have something in common with the Ultradot--namely that they are pricey.
Next, take a look at some of the bullseye web sites for recommendations and who uses them--just sayin'.

PS, from an article I read somewhere a few years ago, Addco's are pretty good. They were the best red dots until Ultradot upgraded theirs about 10 to 15 years ago. I bought a used Addco 2 years ago, and it works fine on my Ruger Sec. Six revolver in 38 / 357 mag.

I think I would try an Allchin mount and a Burris Fastfire III. I have 3 of the FF IIIs on Allchin mounts on my S&W revolvers and really like them. Keeps the dot as close to the bore as possible.
I use Ultra Dots also. I own three of them. I bought a bad one once, it wouldn't stay set. I returned it no problem for a replacement. Good scopes with a good warranty.

I know this is an old thread but... I just purchased a M41PC and went to mount my Ultradot on it. It would not fit either hitting the front or rear sight. I had nice Leupold rings that were too low so I tried the included rings. The only way I can seem to fit this is to put both rings on the front of the dot and nothing on the back. Would this be a problem?
