There can be no doubt that red dot reflex pistol sights are the most popular sighting system since a brass bead graced the top of a blackpowder Colt revolver. In fact, in 56 years of shooting, I have never seen any handgun sighting system become a “must-have” item for sporting or defense like red dot reflex sights have. Nearly every pistol advertised in gun magazines these days is shown with a red-dot optic attached.
