I am a bifocal wearer and have fought red dots for years for one reason or another....mine are on smaller pistols used for self-protection (with one exception). I have 35 years of L.E. experience and felt that at the distance we would be justified to use deadly force I felt that there was no need for a red dot and couple that with my excuse that it is something to fail when spam hits the fan I just was not willing to gamble with my life....now, I have to admit that I was wrong. I am converting and with bifocals find it easier to use and I have a red dot on my S&W 22 Magnum and can hit the 8" gong at 100 yards. I use Holosum, Burris FastFire 3, and Sig Romeo red dots and they are great....around $200 each on sale and guaranteed for life and I feel that my life is worth that price. For me the hardest part is acquiring the red dot....have a great hunt for what ya want brother!
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

I have a large frame Blackhawk in .45 Colt. I tried the Wiegand 'no drill mount' for my Burris FF red dot, thought it raised the rd too high. Ended up following Larry's advice (post #17) using a piece of Weaver base. Doesn't interfere with the original irons, and I am very happy with it. The large frame BH is capable of Tier 3 loads, which are more than I will ever need or want. The Blackhawk is a more economical option too. hc18flyer
in the same boat with bad eyes/bifocals. Hi vis sights won't work for me. I can either focus on the sights or the target, at least that is how my glasses seem to function. Red dot all the way for a range gun. Scope is good if you are shooting off a rest or hunting more than 50 yards (just my opinion). I have a 6moa RMR w/suppressor sights on my carry glock and a 1moa RMR on a ruger mkII 512 squirrel gun, both trijicon. Really like them. Thinking about putting one on a gp100 357 that I recently took the 2x scope off. I put the weigand rail on my redhawk 44. Don't like it as much as an old B-square scope rail I put on my gp100 but pretty sure those rails are no longer made. B-square was lower profile and looked cleaner but that may just be due to slight frame differences between gp100 and redhawk.
A couple friends have burris and aimpoint, both are nice red dots. Those have a smaller top frame than the trijicon which I actually really like when I compared the different units. I think it makes the viewable area slightly larger than the RMR units I have with thick frames.
