Back in the day, we had monster-sized stuff like the Eo-Thing.
 I later switched to the smaller Bushnell Holosight. It’s an improvement in size & weight, but is still kind of bulky.  I tried a Burris TRS-25 on the L5 in .357. It didn’t make it through two magazines before failing. It cracked the rear lens. It’s an old one, before they offered a lifetime warranty. The sight still works, but now lives on a .22 rifle.   The L5 now wears a Fastfire III, which has held up well.

I have been running an aimpoint on my 44 for 20 years now. Yes the aimpoint is expensive but so is the eagle. This optic on my gun has changed a lot of people's perception of the DE. If you can hold the dot on the target, you are going to hit what you are aiming at. I roll my own rounds for accuracy.

 LaRue RMR mount is lower than the ADM QD RMR low mount. Trijicon 2-screw pic rail RMR mount doesn't fit because DE top rail isn't true picatinny, spacing is off (so disappointing). Also have a Trijicon MRO on my 10" barrel, ADM QD low mount. Front lens cover flies open...  probably could use a touch of contact cement, or something. IMHO, better to attach the optic to the barrel instead of the slide: barrel is stationary, slide reciprocates (violently).

It finally broke on me about ten years ago,
But I purchased a 44 around 1988, put the rail on it, and had an Aimpoint 1000 on mine. I think it took the 357 batteries. |

An Aimpoint T2 worked well and held up to the 50AE. It's super fun and accurate with a red dot. I wonder how smaller "pistol style" slide mounted red dots would hold up to the recoil.

I replaced the rear sight on my DE with a EGW RMR pattern mount, and added a Tacticon MRDS. So far after about 20 rounds it's not dead, lol.
