[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2218064, member: 78163"] WOW, 3-500 yards is not something I have every had an opportunity for much less planned for. Unless for varmints. Great point on expected use. Aimpoints are amazing but very expensive, Ultra Dots are the red dot of choice for precision handgun where the optic often rides a 1911 slide so they can take abuse too and cheaper than Aimpoint. One big issue is to make sure illumination at it brightest can be seen on a very sunny day, disappointingly this is not always the case. For the cost and features I like the Sig Romeo 5. But you are right about the dot, you have to change illumination level to balance with ambient conditions so there is minimal flare. I used to thing this is what normal is until I bought a C-More. Is has an perfectly round dot, not just a light bulb called a dot. One option to consider is I have many of the new open reflex design dots on semi-autos. Sig Romeo 1, Delta Point Pro, Burris Fast Fire, RMR, SRO, M-O-U-S-E! One to consider is the Holosun 507. I know it is from Asia, but so are most of the American brand name optics. Some unique features: REALLY good automatic brightness control, circle and dot reticle like a EO Tech AR optic, auto off, battery replacement without removal of optic like RMR, shake awake and backup solar cell. I have never researched mounting on something like a Contender but imagine like on AR Pic rail. And be aware that the "open reflex" type like the RMR won't work if you get snow or mud in the top. It basically has a projector and the lens is a screen for the dot/reticle. JB [/QUOTE]
