Even though I have been shooting for over 50 yrs, I admit I was late to the Dot game. All things being equal I experimented with numerous no-name knockoffs! I have learned that Tube type optics really don't belong on handguns. Don't laugh, its a process. I have also been quite $$ conscious. My first pistol dot was a SCCY CPX2 (less than $300 almost 5 yrs ago) with dot from the factory. Of course, the first time to the range the lens cracked and fell out. It was provided and supported by Crimson trace, they were great and got me a new dot in a couple days. No further problems. then the upgrading begins. Leopold good stuff, gotta have shake-awake, love the DP Micro but switching on and off sucks. DP Pro on my 320 is amazing. have many CT products while they have been upgrading their line they have had some stupid sales. Got my first Holosun for my PSA Micro, a 407K great piece, Thinking of upping a couple other guns to a SCS or SES. even considering the Sig MAX. For my PCC/SBR's I have been upgrading to Primary Arms MD's really like them. I have a friend who has a Trijicon Holo sight on a $200 air rifle. Being retired/fixed income, I can't go there. Final word, be mindful and get those promo emails for as many vendors as possible, those amazing deals are only there if you are aware. I have probably bought 2 maybe 3 guns with the savings I have taken advantage of.
