Red Dot sights

[H Richard]

I have used Tasco PDP2 and AccuDot red dot's and Millet variable red dots on my bullseye pistols for quite a number of years. Without them I would have had to quit any form of competition. I tried an early Burris Fast Fire, but it was not user variable and got Too bright in the daylight, and with my eyesight "starred" out so bad I couldn't see the target center. I am anxious to try the new Fast Fire III which is user variable. All my rifles have scopes on them.

Any of them will work for you, the cheap one have some parallax issues and the dot brightness may not be bright enough on a sunlit targets in some cases. I'd try a cheap one first as the diminishing returns kick in early with that type of sight, I use a ultradot matchdot on my bullseye gun.

Trijicon Reflex on a 10.5" 460XVR

I'm thinking of getting a Trijicon RX34-11 for my 10.5" 460XVR. Has anyone had any experience with one on a handgun with as much recoil as the 460XVR? What about the 4.5MOA reticle in amber? Any pros or cons. Thanks for your help.

Trijicon makes good stuff and they warranty it for life so I wouldn't be too concerned about using one of their products on a 460XVR.

Below is my personal choice, the J Point Reflex on a J P Rifles mount. They work very well and it has been very easy to modify a standard leather holster to fit the sights.

One warning about any optical sight and aging eyes. That is you can become too dependent on them and lose your ability to shoot with iron sights. I strongly suggest limiting all practice with optical sights and making sure that you spend some time at every range session shooting with good old iron sights.

I use a Ultra Dot Match Dot on my 6" 586. Plan on putting on on my 6" 617.
