This would be for a 9mm upper with a carry handle.
I would still like to be able to use the iron sights in case the scope become inoperable.

Originally looking at the C-More Scout scope, but unable to find any reviews. Also, BSA appears to have a decents selection for a good price.

Any suggestions on recommended Red Dots scopes or any place to read about some reviews?

I'm using the OKO sight on my 9mm upper, it's lightweight, very easy to use, and very reliable. I've got the 4moa dot version.
I used my 9mm upper this weekend at a submachinegun match, and the OKO helped me into the "winner's circle". [:D]

I use an Aimpoint ML2: this sight ROCKS!

Recommended enthusiastically.

Aimpoint!!

If finances are an issue, I found a used first generation Aimpoint with two mounting brackets for a little over $ 200.

I have used an OKO that Steve won in the Team Member drawing from CavArms, which seems pretty cool and much less expensive than an Aimpoint. Coal Creek Armory (check industry section on how to contact them) sells them. If finances are not an issue I'd get an Aimpoint, but if you have budgetary constraints the OKO is certainly worth looking at.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but...
What is the difference between 1st gen aimpoint vs. newer ones?

How about an EOTech mounted on an ARMS #39.

i like the Aimpoints too, but nice huge window on the EOTechs has spoiled me!
