Red-dot carry is becoming increasingly common. Chet says he has a Vortex Venom Red Dot on his EDC gun along with a Streamlight TLR-3 for improved visibility in the dark. Who else here has a red dot mounted to their carry gun?
Lots of us have wondered for years when Crimson Trace, which is owned by American Outdoor Brands, would take the leap beyond lasers and lights. Wonder no more. Here’s a press release courtesy Ammoland: Wilsonville, OR – America’s Top Brand of laser sights, Crimson Trace, today introduced a new line red dot sights for pistols and […]
Anderson Manufacturing just announced a new red dot on their Facebook page. While the red dot itself looks worthy, the Facebook post got them the kind of attention you don’t really want in a new product announcement. First, let’s talk about the red dot. Anderson’s Advanced Micro Dot With Removable Base and Rotary Knob (or AM-MD-AD-RK […]
As you’re undoubtedly aware, FN America did not win the military’s Modular Handgun System trials. But that doesn’t mean we can’t all benefit from the development, learning, and progress the company made while engineering to Uncle Sam’s requirements. In fact, all you need to take advantage of that is a cool $1,049 to exchange for the […]
Back in June I reviewed Shield’s RMS, or Reflex Mini Sight. I think it’s one of the best (if not the best) red dots on the market for pistol use. It’s a perfect fit for my G19 MOS and is narrower than most, but would still hang off the sides of a G43, Shield, or […]

Primary Arms continues to build upon its reputation for making solid red dots at an affordable price. In a recent e-mail blast, they’ve announced the new MD-RB-AD (microdot, removable base, advanced). It’s a compact optic with a 2 MOA dot, removable T1/H1-compatible base, rotary brightness adjustment knob, 50,000 hours battery life, IP57 waterproof rating, and […]
When it comes to affordable optics, many of the house-brand offerings from Primary Arms have been TTAG favorites. Whether it was their 4-14×44 Mil Dot FFP Scope, their 6x scope with .22LR reticle, their 1-6x ACSS scope, or their 2.5X Prism Scope with ACSS Reticle, Primary Arms products typically (but not always) have gotten high […]
“New” may be a bit of a stretch, as we covered this sight during SHOT Show 2016. However, the big news here is that the Shield RMS has gone into full production and will be hitting U.S. shores in the near future. Shield’s press release and some more photos follow… SHIELD SIGHTS ANNOUNCES FULL PRODUCTION […]
It has been nearly a year since I first took possession of my GLOCK 19 MOS, which quickly found itself in a holster in my waistband on a very frequent basis. During this time, I’ve had a JP Enterprises JPoint Reflex Sight mounted to the pistol with one of the factory MOS mounting plates. While […]
Atibal Sights is a relative newcomer to the market, looking to provide high quality sights for competition, hunting, and defensive use at competitive price points. Nick reviewed their Velocity 1-4x, giving it four stars for great glass, a large field of view, and solid mechanicals, while dinging it for the reticle choice. Eventually we’ll have […]
A few months ago I stumbled upon Holosun Technologies, a company out of Florida that makes a range of red dot optics. Nearly all of them employ a solar panel to provide power to the ultra-efficient LED, with a battery backup if it’s too dark. With this combination, the CR2032 battery’s life is up to […]
