Just got in a FDE Dagger Doctor cut. Ready to pull the trigger on a Venom. What are you guys running? RMR... Doctor.. Cheap optics etc.

Holosun 507c (Green Reticle)

SROs on two carry Glocks (30S & 41 MOS) and a MRO ("Greenie") on an AR Pistol.

I put a 3 MOA Venom on my Advantage Arms optics ready 22 LR conversion kit.  I like it fine and I bought mine from AA optics where I have a LE/mil discount.   A Friend has several Venoms both 3 & 6 MOA but I prefer the 3 MOA.

ditto

RMR on my "main" full size handgun for use with nods. holosun 407 on everything else.

Holosun 507c on a G45 and a 508t on a G19, both red.

I'm new to Red dot sights.

Advantages of going green over red? Better for day, or night shooting?

Thanks!

Was going to look for it but figured you could easily do the same. There's info out there that the human eye picks up Green easier/faster than Red. Something about the Rods & Cones within the eye. In addition to the Holosun I use Green Reticle Optics on everything I can. Personal choice really.

I keep reading about people raving on about green dot sights being better than Red.  I got a Red/Green mini dot sight (cheap Aimpoint T2 size) a few years ago I’ve played with.  I’ve used this sight on pistols and rifles and it currently is on a Ruger 10/22.   For me in all situations I prefer red so it is either personal preference or the difference in people eyes.  I’m not color blind which could affect people’s ability to use the different color dots.

I’ve tried mine in the snow, green foliage, fall with multi color leaves, dusk, dawn and at night.   Red just works for me whereas green tends to blend in to some backgrounds and almost distracting in other light conditions.   Granted I’ve used a lot of red digital displays on electronics for many years.

I think it is wise to just look through different optics to see which you prefer.   I don’t think photography duplicates exactly what my eye sees.   Posted pictures are good for a reference but I prefer to physically see through an optic if possible.

I played with this Red/Green dot sight yesterday on my 10/22 so this is fresh on my mind.  I’m probably just an old guy set in is ways but this is humble opinion.

To the OP, since you got the Dr cut I think you will be well served with either Vortex or Fastfire optics at a good price point.

507C Green Dot.

Most say green helps with astigmatism. I find this to be true for me as well, but everyone is different so YMMV.

Good stuff guys. I have a Vortex Venom ordered. I may do the complete slide deal on the next pistol from PSA and get the Holosun for $399
