Hi Everyone,

Just wondering what everyone's experience with using Optical sights on your handgun is.
Been thinking of getting something like an RMR for my next pistol and wondering any issues such as holstering or battery maintenance or even using your irons incase of optic failure.

Responses would be much appreciated.
 
I had an RMR on my CZ and changed it out for an SRO. Same footprint but larger window makes target acquisition much easier and faster. So much so that I put another SRO on my Q5 Match SF. I love this optic!
 
I'm cheap so I went with a 6 MOA Venom.

MidnightKnight: Forget "co-witnessing", it's a range gun.

I put one on one of my Glocks to see if I’d like it. I’m in my 60’s, eyes aren’t what they used to be, etc. it took a couple weeks to get used to shooting it, and the more shooting I did, the more I liked it. Ever since, whatever money left after my monthy spend on reloading supplies & ammo is set aside to purchase the next Red Dot for the next pistol in line for one. I love them. battery life/longevity is a non issue; they last forever. for a few bucks, a change them every four to six months to be safe, but I haven’t ever had one die on me. holster work is the same, though some holsters may need minor mods done. I won’t go back to straight irons for almost anything. my 1873 SAA likely won’t get one, but that’s just asthetics; it’d look goofy as #### with a red dot on it
 
G34MOS with Holosun 507C (solar, auto dimmer, multiple reticles) and Trijicon Suppressor height sights. The tall sights are must IMO, especially if you are using an auto dim red dot and in variable light conditions.

Using the irons, the dot is right on the front post.

Slight up angle on the wrist, and you get floating dot.

Now I suddenly have an urge to see a wheel gun with a red dot
