    WTB - Pistol red dot

    Hey guys, just wondered if anyone had a pistol red dot that they wanted to move on. My son has been shooting open sights only and keen to try an optic on his .22 pistol. Keen to look at anything decent, pic mount and hopefully not breaking the bank. Cheers, Pete

    Have a gander at the Gun City website for their “Ranger Pro Compact 3.0 Low Profile Red Dot Sight“. At $349.00 it would likely be the cheapest you will find for brand new. I have an earlier model on my Tippmann Elite and it has not missed a beat through thousands of rounds so I am sure it will put up with the slide action on your sons pistol.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks @Rushy will have a look at those and good to hear they hold up well. Also keen to see if anyone has a decent second hand one not being used.
    Thanks @The bomb but were looking for something smaller and more suitable for a pistol.
    Cheers guys

    Don’t need to as it is not something I would ever part with.

    I'm useing 2 dot sights I bought off trademe 10 yrs ago for $40 each.
    Currently on a 586 and a 686 s&w.
    Have had 1 of them on a 629 for a while,
    They hold zero and have given no problems.
    For a trail on your sons .22 don't discount the cheapies?
