[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2469432, member: 113623"] I was hesitant to adopt red dot sights for pistols, especially when the earlier RMR's were having trouble handling recoil with their battery contacts. Since then I have become a believer and set up all my handguns with red dots, CCW included. A red dot on a handgun at night is great because it is easy to pick up, but you still need to have a good illumination system to see your target. If you are putting it on a handgun, I would suggest a good weapon mounted pistol light to go with it, assuming it is legal to hunt with in your area. Acquiring the dot when you draw the pistol is a little different than getting on your irons but not difficult. It will take some practice to get accustomed to. Also keep in mind that any open reflex style red dot sights have an exposed emitter which can get dusty, muddy, snowy, etc. If you are driving down a dusty road or in a dirty environment I would look at ones with enclosed emitters. Holosun HE509T-RD X2 comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
