What is the best size for a red dot 2 moa , 3 moa, 6 moa for a pistol ?
I prefer 2 MOA on all my red dots sights.
For a pistol, it doesn't really matter unless you're shooting 50-100m all the time. Shooter's preference mainly...what do you like best.
I have used 2, 3, 3.5, 6, and 7 and some weirdos in between and none of it matters at all from zero to 50m, much less in the 5m-25m space. But that's just me.

It really depends on the size of your target and distance, say your shooting rat you dont want the dot to cover the entire rat when your trying for a head shot a man size target the bigger dot is ok unless your trying to place your shot in a pacific location like a head shot between the eyes.
The larger one for self defense, the smaller for precision/longer range shooting. 3-4 is a good compromise but I know the larger ones are very popular for quick reaction shooting & self defense.
On a pistol, in a SD situation it really doesn't matter. If you cover a target with your reticle it is going to get hit at those distances.
I do like the 507k and 507c reticles which is a 2MOA dot within a 32MOA circle. With that at 10 yards, covering body mass, you are a hit.

2-3 moa. The larger dot may be a bit faster up close , but they are more difficult for “precision“ shots at long distance. We all know what we can do at long distance, don’t we…. And of course we all know the offset between optic and poi in case of a close hostage style situation.
Find a good teacher, learn how to run the optics and you will be amazed with what you can do with a pistol that has an optic mounted on it.

Have a 6 moa on a 43x and it’s awesome!! Your groups will really tighten up over standard Glock iron sights. 6moa is probably as good as your standard group out of your pistol anyway. That’s 6 inches at 100yds, 3 inches at 50yds, 1 1/2 inches at 25 yds, should be 1 inch at 50 ft. I can’t wait to try the compition model (Holosun 507 comp) .2MOA dot, an 8MOA circle, 20MOA circle, and 32MOA circle with multiple combination settings to suit individual shooter preference. 507Comp
