    The only optic I used on my Buckmark was a 4MOA 25mm UltraDot. I don't have the pistol anymore, but I've had the scope for a long time, currently on a Ruger Charger. It fits standard rimfire rings, has 10 brightness modes, but no auto-off (and yes, I have killed the battery before by leaving it on after shooting). I would recommend it to anyone who isn't hell-bent on a getting one of the newer-style micro-dots. You can find them for $200 to $250.

      Ditto on using Ultradot brand. I have a Matchdot. 1, 2, 4, & 8 MOA reticle choices

          I have a Bushnell TRS-25 on my Buck Mark. It’s very compact, has a built in mount and holds zero. Only draw back is every once in a while the dot disappears. Fire a round and it’s back. Could be a battery, I haven’t changed in a nearly two years.

              I'm running a $20 Field Sport bought from amazon 5+ years ago. Got it on a joking dare, but it turned out better than expected. It is about the same size as a trs-25 and has a 2 moa dot that is very visible during the day. Battery life isn't great, but that's ok. When it dies it will be replaced with a sig or a holosun.

                Holosun green dot for me. I see it better than my Vortex Venom

                  I have a Primary Arms Micro dot on mine that's worked very well. Battery life is great, and it's stayed zeroed through a bunch of trips to the desert and many thousands of rounds. For under $100, I highly recommend it!

                  If I had money burning a hole in my pocket, I'd probably go for one of these, to make picking up the dot quicker: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.the...507c-acss/amp/

                    Same here. It's almost unfair to have a little red dot on this gun they're so accurate
                    It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

                      I have this one offered by Browning. Holds zero and I like that you can change the reticule shape.

                          I just picked up one of these on eBay for far less than MSRP. I have to admit it's a little bigger than I expected.

                          I have yet to try it out on a pistol, a Buckmark purchase is planned for the near future. If it doesn't work out on a pistol it may find a home on a future small-caliber carbine or rifle purchase.

                            TRS-25's do work, and that Browning import works (no different than a NCSTAR AFAIK). Eventually I put on a Fast Fire III and that's a good fit... if I had a Buckmark, I'd get this mount and mount it direct, no pic rail.

                              Update, I went with a Feyachi Red dot, using the Picatinny rail. Thanks for all the input!!
