AR15 Pistol - what optic to get?

[johnk518]

A lot of options listed and I didn't read them all, but I would say for a 22lr your best best is the Primary Arms ACSS for $119 it's a fixed X6, not too many people speak poorly about them, in fact, the opposite

IMHO a magnified optic for HD is silly on a pistol. An Aimpoint Comp series RDS is the way to go. The reason for the comp over a Eotech is superior battery life and the ability to roll the rheostat to brighten or dim the dot instantaneously with your support side pointer finger vs trying to press buttons.

I love and use both Eotech and Aimpoint but have to agree the Aimpoints are a little faster and easier to manipulate which can be paramount during a home defense situation. Another good option would be the Leupold LCO. I think by now this sight has been proven solid and reliable. You also get excellent battery life, and, motion sensor technology which is something I wish the Eotechs and Aimpoints had included.

And no, I would not recommend a LPVO if primary use for the rifle is home defense. A flip to side magnifier behind a red dot sight is a great option however.
