I was in one of the semi-local pawnshops today, looking for a bigger chainsaw. No luck so I started looking at the pistol case.
I asked to look at one of the Sig 365's with a mounted RDS, I even told the owner I was not going to buy it I just wanted to try the sight picture.
I was very surprised when the red dot was immediately visible, definitely not my experience with either scopes or when I tried a red dot on my Ruger SSM. I can now see how they could be useful.
But they still add bulk to a carry gun. For holster carry okay; for concealed carry, I'm still not sold on them.
Then he showed me a flat topped something (I really wasn't curious enough to look at the make or model)that had a green dot with a circle, even with my fuzzy vision it would be useable.
