Hello

On all of my pistols, i have either the Holosun 507C, the SCS on those that use that specific sight, or on the smaller ones, the 507K.  They all have the multiple reticles.  

I have a Hellcat Pro Comp that needs an optic.  For this one, i was thinking about a 407K with the 6 MOA dot only.  I dont really use all of the reticles as i usually just use the circle dot mostly because it is easy for my 55 year old eyes to pick up.  

This is obviously a carry gun and i was just wondering what your preferred reticle is on an EDC

Thanks

I'm happiest with dot only, 3.25 MOA.

I USE THE 2 MOA DOT ONLY ON MY 507K HOLOSUN ON MY EDC AND OTHER HANDGUS BUT WHEN I TRANSISTIONED FROM IRON SIGHTS TO A RED DOTI PERFERED THE CIRCLE DOT BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS EASIER TO LOCATE. I ALSO USE A SIG ROMEO 5 WITH A 2 MOA DOT ON MOST OF MY RIFLES.

As I became more accustomed to using the dot I found the circle dot adds complexity to the presentation.  A bigger dot is easier to find at speed, but after using the dot I feel like I can go smaller now.

The SRO 5 moa dot is great on my competition pistol.  I swapped a 3 moa dot onto my Heavy Metal pistol to help with distance precision on 10” plates.

I run circle dots on shotguns now and zero the shot to the circle. I run 2 or 3 moa dots on carbines as it adds to the precision.

Dot only. Less things to go wrong with an accidental change and less cost.

Dot only and as small as possible.

My main OWB is a G17.6 with a Defender XL in 2 moa and my main AIWB is a G48 with a Defender CCW in 3 moa.

Dot only.  2 to 3.5 MOA is what I prefer.

I have a strong dislike of the circle dot reticles.  For me they obscure the target and are distracting.  They make focusing on the target more difficult.  They also drain batteries really fast on the ones I've used.

I have a ton of multi reticle sights and I run every one of them on the smallest dot only setting.

I only use the dot but do like options so I usually spring for the mrs if available even if I don’t ever use it. 🤪

I prefer a single smaller dot.  I have a couple of the MRS Holosuns and have zero use for the circle dot on a handgun.  I've tried it and found it to actually slow me down.

I had tried a 6 MOA dot when I first started using pistol optics and I just didn't like it.  I prefer the 2 moa dot when available.  The large dot was not faster for me and I found myself being more dot focused that target focused.  I actually felt slower and the shot time showed proved that out by a very small margin.
