I was initially hesitant about grabbing a red dot…however I’m impressed after grabbing one. Worth every penny.
I’ve been pleased with the Trijicon also, no complaints so far.
I finally put an RMR on my G19, and it's pretty incredible. There's a learning curve in terms of acquiring the dot, but man oh man it's a huge game changer. I'm still chasing the dot a little bit, but my long range shooting is basically double what it used to be. A dot basically lets you shoot a compact or even sub compact as well as you could a long slide with target sights. And being a red dot, of course you can acquire it a lot faster and see it a lot better than target sights, so it's the best of both worlds.
There's a lot of controversy on dot size. I got the 3MOA version and I think that's a great place to start. A lot of people say you'll eventually want the 1MOA, but I think that would have been rough starting out with. The 3MOA isn't too hard to learn on, and I can make hits on a medium steel target at 50 yards with it, which is way more distance than you would likely ever need to shoot.

So tell me good people....which is easier to pick up in the daylight, red or green dot?
