      I currently have an Eotech xps2-0 and I'm liking it so far. The reticle was what made me choose this optic. It was faster due to it's size plus it doesn't create a " starburst" effect since I have astigmatism. It is bulky on top though.
      I've also used a Primary Arms micro with a riser and it was light. I preferred this much better due to weight but it was a little harder to find the dot due to smaller diameter tube.
      Then I tried an ACOG, but was unable to comfortable shoot. All in all, it's all about preference. For me at this time, it's the Eotech. Also using this on a 10.5 inch 300blk bbl.

        Because of less consistent weld I would go with something big like the eotech.

          if you have a buffer tube (shouldering) you can worry about a bit more long range. If not id go with a primary arms red dot, cheap price, compact, great quality.

                    Another advantage with an EoTech is you can move it to other platforms quite easily.

                      Budget? Is this for a range toy or your go to SHTF gun? You can't go wrong with any of the options you listed.

                        It's a pistol. Keep it small.

                            I have an eotech exps on top of my 300 BO AR pistol. It's easy to see, it holds its zero, etc.
