So I’m looking to get a red dot sight for my Beretta APX A1. I’m wanting to find a good one without breaking the bank. Any suggestions? ---

I just mounted a holosun 570c x2 (i believe) on my APX A1. Had to get a RMR adapter plate from Beretta for it ($30) and picked the dot up from optic planet for $200. Sights co witness ---

Going for small/smallest? I love all of my cheap Leapers / UTG stuff, but none of it is high end or small. ---

@Derek75 Welcome to the community! I agree with the input from the community as well, Holosun is pretty good. ---

The question is… what is the number when you break the bank? In my opinion you should think about RED DOT within $150 - $200 range. That means Holosun. If you are looking for something around $100, you can try Zulisy OWL. I recently bought one for dryfire training and mounted it on SIRT pistol. I’m actually happy with quality of this red dot. ---

Holosun HE407C-GR-X2…. $195 + tax… nothing fancier is needed for APX A1 🙂 ---

Gotta ask if you want shake awake also. That’s why I up graded to the holosun. Had the burris fastfire 3 but wanted the shake awake. Naturally, those dots cost a few bucks more ---

Yeah the $150-$200 range is where I would like to stay around for now. I’ve looked at a lot of the Holosun optics. I think that’s the route I’m gonna take. Thank you for your input. Much appreciated for sure. ---
