For me, green. It appears more crisp to my older eyes.
I never got on board. Not that Im opposed, I just dont see how it makes my life that much better. Im not drawing my gun on people at over 25 yards unless they have a gun or knife and are plainly targeting me in a capacity that they have the intent and CAPABILITY to cause permanent damage to my limbs or kill me or my family. So the love for using handguns to do things at rifle distances is awesome, I support it, I can hit targets at 50 and 75 yards too but not as well as a dot shooter, but thats active shooter level problems, but within 25 yards, I can look at my target (not focused on the front sight) and still make good hits. You can definitely make good hits with a bare slide and no sights at all at 21 feet if you arent a horrible handgun shooter and probably a little further if you absolutely had to, such as a dedicated red dot pistol goes out and now you just have a glass window.I’m kind of curious what the longer term response has been to dot sights. My first exposure was in IPSC open class back when I was tall thin and perty. It was a non-reciprocating red dot the size of a c-cell flashlight which made it pure evil for placing.38 Supers. I’ve tried the Holosun on a P365XL, and while it does work, I don’t find it to be particularly advantageous. By my thinking at the classic 21ft and in you should be able to draw and fire effectively without even seeing the sights. I don’t carry what I do simply for halitosis range and find it expedient to use rear sight holds up the slide like a ladder sight. How many of you are over the moon with your dot sights and are there any who have gone back the other way? For the record, I have won every gunfight I have ever been in…
Red. I've been looking at a red dot for most of my rifle/handgun life, so it's like a comfort to me. My fiber optic front sights are green, so an alternate color helps
Old school kinda of guy. Iron sights on my handguns. Been practicing every week with my micro and sub compact for defensive shooting. Mostly center mass hits on human paper target from 15 to 30 feet. Trying to shoot rapidly too. I do like green fiber optic though.
Out of curiosity, what new bad habits have you seen? I’ve only seen improvements when MRDS are used.
Lazy and not presenting fully...just tilting the gun to accommodate...like that as an example. One can still hit what they're shooting at; improvements are relative. I don't correlate improvements with technology only.
It probably has more to do with bad habits from the get go.

I have not. I will have to try. Mine is very extreme and is beyond surgery help. Thanks.
Best of Luck. I hope it works for you...
I mostly agree. Most of the improvements I see are related to the dot telling on people. Draw stroke, recoil control etc. I will say there seems to be an improvement on hit ratio in FOF I would attribute to technology. Natural instinct for most people is a threat focus, which lends well to the MRDS.
I will keep an eye out for shooters getting lazy with full presentations though.
This is probably what I'm trying to say
