Which red dot for PC carbine?

Does anyone know if the Burris fast fire 3 cowitness with the iron sight

[all torque]

I have had a TRS-25 for a few years and it has worked great. I recently bought a Romeo 5 and can't tell the difference between the two. I also bought an Aimpoint Pro for my AR which replaced the TRS-25 but I haven't taken it to the range yet so I can't comment on the difference.

NOPE. Not with the Burris standard low pic mount. Vortex Crossfire RD-1 same deal. Close enough for government work maybe but you don't get a good sight pic for range fun.

Clarification...

Since the FF3 has the helpful white alignment line at the shooter end, you can use those to line up the front sight... and at self-defense distances for example... aiming at a BG's teeth you'd hit his forehead, IMHO.

But co-witness no way.

Just picked up a Romeo5 from Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore, for $119.99, plus 8 bucks shipping. $128.00 total.

I would have liked to use the iron sights, but at 66, and trifocals, I just can't.

It's small, seems to work well (better than my eyes do), and inexpensive enough, so that if it doesn't last forever, its no big deal.

I look at this rifle, as just a big pistol anyway, would never shoot at anything more than 50 yds, and at 25 yds, I can actually hit something!

Would a riser mount make the Burris ff3 cowitness?

Too high already so more would not help.

My Aimpoint 2000 died some time back. I was informed they do not service anything over 10 years old.

I will not buy another one.

Replaced it with a Vortex.

K., I have only seen a prototype and do not know what the finished product of the SuperDot will look like. I have been asked a lot so there are definitely others interested as well. Certainly, the trucolor, 15,000 hours of battery life and 5-year warranty are big pluses for both products. I promise to pass along info on the SuperDot when I get some.

Just got a Sig Sauer Romeo 5 XDR for $179 brand new on E-Bay. My brother has the 5 X model and it's a great Red Dot sight and uses one AAA battery which can be changed without removing the sight. I also have a Holosun sight on my AR and will see which one of the two I like better. The XDR has a dot and a 65moa circle around the dot. You can choose which you want to use. I like the dot within the circle myself.

I'm a sucker for trying cheap crap once in a while, just to see what happens.
For $18, I'm having a Bush nell TRS-25 shipped from China for my first gen PC9.
Yes, it's split into two words.

I suspect that it will be plastic magnifying glasses with a painted oval dot taped to a flat black toilet paper tube, but I have been surprised before.

Bushnell TRS-25 for $50?

If you must, the Vortex Viper and Venom are excellent choices, although they are bottom mount for batteries.

The venom is not a bottom mount battery.

I had a bushnell 25 on an AR in the past. Was not wowed, but for the price was not disappointed either. I've been waiting for the venom in 6 moa to come back in stock but maybe another bushnell is worth a shot. You guys are making me think.

Quite a few of our customer's have bought the Vortex Crossfire Red Dot for their Ruger PCC 9's

That E-Bay Chinese Bush nell TRS-25 came in.

It's either an actual Bushnell, or the best clone I've ever seen.
The fit and finish is immaculate, no scratches on anything that I can find.
The dot is crisp, bright, and round.
I'm kind of wondering if it's actually a refurbished unit.

1/2 the price of a TRS anywhere else.

[operavoice]

Works for me.
Going to get another one for my shotgun, maybe another couple just because I might need one for a future rifle.

Welp, finally got all the rails and junk and stuff needed to get this Bush Nell mounted on my first gen PC9.
FAIL.
Not enough MOA adjust to even come close with a generously varied cheek weld.
However. . . It plopped right on my Mossy 500 BullPup Unlimited, and was zeroed in 3 clicks.
Imma call that a gamble won, and never buy one again.
