I have used UltraDot red dot sights for years on handguns.

Look into the Holosun products.... I have ~8 or so and one warranty case that was handled with excellence.

Quoted: Is there an Ampoint type RDS for handguns? I dont like the conventional RMR that projects a laser versus an internal LED like in an Aimpoint. Not only is the drain much higher with lasers but the laser can be blocked with rain or snow or dust. An all enclosed red dot seems much more reliable. The RMR uses an LED, not a laser like an EOTech. Aimpoint ACRO and Holosun 509T are the two enclosed emitter options I'm aware of at the moment. That being said, while I tend to share that preference, my carry gun has worn an RMR for a couple years now without issue. |

UltraDot is old school. Aimpoint micros are the new hotness in Bullseye. Aimpoint also has the new ACRO.

The Burris Fastfire4 and Sig Romeo2 are coming out in 2021 and will have enclosed emitters.

Doesn't Leupold have some fancy enclosed red dot sight thing of some sort too?

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have used UltraDot red dot sights for years on handguns. Same. There may be better/smaller/lighter red dots today, but replacing my decades-old Ultradots with T1s just doesn't have a ROI for me. |

Holosun's CR1632 battery is a deal breaker. 2032 is the standard.

I have a Primary Arms Micro Dot on my Buck Mark .22 LR and love it for a range toy. But for serious use, I'd prefer something with a more forgiving reticle like the Holosun Vulcan:
There's a wide circle that helps you find the dot when presenting the gun. Yes, consistent training is the best way to perfect your presentation, but this big outer circle will help you quickly find the center chevron if your presentation is off - possibly if shooting from a nonstandard position. Seems like the perfect option for a defensive handgun, or any weapon without a stock.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Holosun's CR1632 battery is a deal breaker. 2032 is the standard. Dude.  The Aimpoint uses a 1225 battery, which is even weirder. The Vortex Venom uses a 1632. And in the Holosun it gets changed once a year (life up to 50,000hrs/5yrs) vs every 2-3 weeks in the Aimpoint. Getting stuck on a different battery size for a dot is as rediculous as refusing to have a weapon light that doesn't use AA batteries. |

You mean like the little brother of this Deltapoint Pro? The same one the slide of the current US Mil pistol, M9 is milled for? The two I run have been flawless, the oldest for about six years now. Don't know much about the micro, but the DPP is a good choice.  |
