Re: Pistol mounted optics questions

This is a pistol and red dot set up that I bought last year to give my daughter. A SCCY DVG-1 9mm and Riton X3 Tactix MPRD 2 Micro Red Dot 3MOA - 3TMPRD2. The pistol when purchased wasn't milled for a red dot, but SCCY offered a milled slide for less than 90 bucks. I made some inquiries about the Riton on some forums and youtube channels with positive feedback, so I gave it a try. I asked about the Riton on a pistol optic forum, but only got negative reactions that only the elite brands were worth trying. Circumstances has prevented getting to the range, but I had to pickup a little .22 rifle I won on auction and transfers at my favorite indoor range, Marksman, includes free range time so I used it to shoot the pistol. I only put 20 rounds through it to check function, trigger and see whit adjustments were needed for zero. I put 10 shots just shooting offhand at 10 yards and the started more purposeful aimed shots. Trigger took, some getting used to but it wasn't bad. I checked it with my scale when I bought it but can't recall what it was, felt like 5-6 lbs to day My 10yrd offhand were not great so I backed the target to 7 yards and used the divider to steady my aim which is the group in the picture. Six shots in center.

The other holes are off hand and some random trigger tests

Re: Pistol mounted optics questions

I just recently got into reflex hand gun sights. I had no handguns milled for a red dot and didn't want to alter any unless I was sure I would be happy. I found an optics ready 9mm made for Stoeger, the STR 9 for Cheap! $150 after rebate. It came with 5 base plates with screws. I did some searches for decent RD's that weren't high dollar high end brands and found one made by Sightron, the SRS-2. A little less than 200 bucks. I joined a red dot forum to elicit some opinions explaining I am in the experimental phase and don't want to spend ½ my social security check. I just got flak for not looking at EOtech, Vortex, Trigicon, Holosuns, etc . I got it and mounted it on the STR and was pleased. I think I posted about it. The snobs on the RD forum never heard of Sightron tells me they are idiots elitist. Sightron makes high end scopes with very good reviews. I also ended up with a SCCY DVG 1 with a Riton MPRD 2. I was please with my shooting results using the RD.
