So, I just bought a 10mm Glock from another nutter.

I have never owned a pistol with a optic before.

My glock comes with a MOS system that allows me to mount one of the most popular brand optics on it.

I was leaning towards the Trijicon RMR because it does not use a battery, (it uses tritium and fibre optic).

So what optic would you guys get for a Glock 10MM pistol?

Also what MOA, I have seen 2MOA all the way upto 12MOA, what size is good for shooting inside 50 Meters??

I would go Trijicon as well. Maybe Docter only be cause it is small and light but it is probably less durable. If you want it for distance and precision out to 50m, a 3.5 MOA would work but not as quick to acquire as a larger dot. I wouldn't go bigger that 6MOA.

couple things for ya.
I right behind ya with the Glock 10mm MOS, just ordered mine should be in stock in the new year, so ive been looking around at what is out there and what people are saying is good.

now, first off im going into this with a 9mm all ready set up with a red dot.
ive got a S&W M&P Pro Core with a Leupold Delta on it.
super set up!

but im noticing one really big difference between the way S&W sets up their optics ready guns and the way Glock does.
from what im reading you have to replace the open sites on your Glock with higher after market ones if you want to be able to co-witness with the irons.

now that is not by any means mandatory to do but i have it on my M&P and i have to tell ya it is very very nice!
not that it is hard to change out the sites on a Glock, but what im concerned about is availability of sites up here that we can get out hands on that will work.

like i said, not mandatory but it is sure nice to have!

as too dot size my Deltapoint is like a 6 i think and its nice, i wanted the smaller one but they where out of stock when i ordered so i went with this one and im happy i did, its big enough that i can pick it up fast but not big enough that it covers everything.

here are some pics to assist

here is what im saying about the co-witness and the dot size

With the battery life in current gen RDS, I don't think you should have an aversion to them. You get better adjustability with the battery-powered, and the low-light dot won't dim over time from tritium decaying.

Dot size depends on your eyesight, range, and the speed at which you're shooting. If I'm just standing still and shooting at a single target, a 2 MOA dot would work for me. I don't shoot open-class competitive, but the number I see that gets thrown around is 6-8 MOA. 3-4 inches at 50 yards, which is probably accurate enough.
 
...you do not need to co-witness with iron sights with a red dot, they just distract and are totally unecessary......Delta Point Pro dot has the best reputation for reliability with a slide mounted optic (although expensive) and the 3 MOA dot works great (anything larger is too large for 25-50m precision shots)
