I have been doing much research but would like opinions on the following Mfg's and their 1x red dots....
Primary Arms....I like PA...already own a 1-6x X 24 scope Vortex Holosun TruGlo Bushnell Sig Sauer Feel free to mention anything I have overlooked. This will be for a 10.3" 300 Blackout SBR for HD...so pretty much for 50 yds and under. |

Please consider the Primary Arms 2.5x prism scope. I went from a nice red dot to the 2.5x and i love it. Its just as fast to me up real close and great for further out too. I would think it would be to powerful for inside a house for HD. I like the reticle but concerned about it being overpowered for my purposes. |

Vortex sparc..tight small dot..clear and very accurate to 100yrds. PA or Bushnell TRS-25 are proven. I would add my favorite to your list: Lucid M7 micro dot. 4.6 ounces. T-1 size. Uses more available single AAA battery, automatic dot intensity, Eotech type circle dot reticle for rapid target acquisition, tethered turrets and battery cap. I have two now, running one on a 12 gauge tactical shotgun with no durability issues shooting full power buckshot and slugs. Rugged, feature packed little mother. Usually around $160. But, for indoors HD, I would consider a small reflex like the Burris Fastfire III, at about $220 or so. |

I meant to add Lucid to my list above. I have read reviews that say the Lucid HD7 has a bit of tunnel vision effect or a narrow FOV. Quoted:

Lucid HD7 I meant to add Lucid to my list above. I have read reviews that say the Lucid HD7 has a bit of tunnel vision effect or a narrow FOV. I have both the HD7 and two of the M7s. The HD7 is ACOG size and pretty heavy. It is very strongly constructed, however. It also has QD capability with an ADM mount upgrade and kill flash accessory. It also has four different reticle choices. But, if home defense is your goal, it is pretty big and bulky, especially on a SBR type build. I have had no trouble with mine. There is a little tunnel effect and the emitter diode is somewhat visible, but not really a problem. But, the M7 is better value, IMHO. It has all the features of the HD7 except only one reticle choice, the 25 MOA circle around a 2 MOA center dot. I think it is the best and is what I use on the HD7 anyway. The M7 is Aimpoint T-1 size and only 4.6 ounces. It has no tunnel effect and the emitter is virtually buried. You have to look hard to see it at all. Depending on how you mount it, it may need a riser, to purchase separately. If it is going on a pistol that has no front sight, mount it without the riser. But, if you have iron sights at AR height, you will need a riser. .875" will get you absolute co-witness, and 1" will be lower 1/3. Seriously, though, as much as I think Lucid is a solid company with great budget red dots, I would recommend a Burris Fastfire III, J-Point, Docter, or similar for indoor home defense. They are even lighter and have a very open, expansive field of view. They would be fine for indoor use. If you want duty grade, get the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro or Trijicon RMR. |
