I use a Primary Arms Micro Dot.

Sig Sauer Mini Red Dot Sight STS-081 its cheap on ebay $100 or so..

I am impressed with the quality of the Primary Arms Micro Red Dot Sight I picked up for my backup rifle. It delivers a lot for a tiny price tag.

I've had pretty good luck with the Bushnell TRS-25.

One's in use on my Lever Action, one on a Saiga

.

Lots of transfers to pistol with the rifle getting slung fast with the red dot hitting my dump pouch on occasion and it maintains zero and functions flawlessly...

Put this Burris on my Draco & I love it, small/compact, bright dot, auto shut-off with hood:

These all look like great options.

Will an open style sight work better with my "pistol" than a tube style? I am worried i will loose some of my ability to see as much as possible if I go with a tube.+


Just to make sure...A weaver style sight will fit a picatinny rail but the opposite probably wont work?

A FastFire. Now that's what I'm talking about. How is the battery life?

I use a Railway Red Dot from C-More Systems on a 10.5 in. gas piston pistol upper.
4MOA dot is swappable for different sizes.

FYI; I also run a JPSRTS on a new 7.5 in. DI pistol build. Just finished it so the resulting accuracy review will have to wait. Needs to be field tested.

Being these AR pistols have a fairly noticeable recoil when compared to a Carbine, I'd suggest a laser for quick target acquisition. Veridian or LaserMax does the job great.
But if you're stuck on a Red Dot, and a budget of under $100, go with the SIG STS-081. Many available on eBay.

Good so far, I keep in mind when the Draco is just lying there (not often) when I'm shooting something else I just slip the plastic hood on & it goes to sleep. It also has a small switch on the side to power off too if you like.

I really like it, took a little getting used to because of it's small size but no prob now. I really recommend it.

I have an Aimpoint H1 and EOTech EXPS 2-0 for my pistols. Took my Insight Technologies M6 off one of my Glock's and added it to the bottom rail on one of my pistols as well. Laser works good for quick target acquisition like rareair said.

This is just a temporary until I can save the pennies for something a little more worthy. I shot it today without any sights just to get a feel for it. Getting something cheap real quick to solve the nothit****itus.
