However, I think it is relevant to the OP question. For a pistol, the micro dot sights is the way to go and you can use a larger MOA than I would use with a long gun. I would not get too large though and the smaller is better IAW brightness adjustments. Keeping both eyes open your brain will superimpose the dot and the smaller window is not an issue. On the long gun, go with the something that does not require a battery and smallest dot you can see. Remember, even 4 MOA covers a 1/4 of the torso bowling pin lethal zone at 25 yards and 50% of the Head/Neck Lethal zone....something to think about. Quote:

Clearly you have NO IDEA how MOA works. A 4 moa dot will only subtend 1 INCH at 25 yards. This coming from someone that claims to have been through the SF sniper school and all |

Bowling pin lethal area for E type FBI silhouette is ~4 inches at the torso and ~2 inches at the head/neck 4 MOA = 1 inch at 25 yards Quote:

4 MOA = about 1” at 25 yards and LESS at closer distances. Less then 1/2” at 10yards. That is NOT big |

It only took 3 times specifying "BOWLING PIN" for you to get with the program. 48 inch square area....that is huge....No Reaction Kill shots should be much easier in that 2 inch wide zone... I guess if you count hitting him the heart as a no reaction kill then we can use that 48 inches. Just saying, LOL. Seriously, the entire area comparison is not valid but I'll let you figure it out. |

Sharkbite, reading comprehension is important. You’re sounding like a troll and hijacking a thread for no reason other than to be salty.
I kind if like the bigger wide open sights more. It is already going on a rifle, there is nothing tiny about that to begin with, so why limit yourself with a smaller (and thus, sometimes slower to aquire) field of view. Personally I can’t see a significant difference in speed due to the difference in weight between a micro and a large sight. Maybe you can but i doubt most can. The micros are purpose built to be small for small weapons. They can and are used effectively on larger guns but as a primary you’re probably better off with a bigger sight. If you’ve got to hike 20 miles, yeah maybe save some weight where you can. If I was SWAT in an urban setting, where at the end of the day I could sleep in my own bed and not worry about battery life, i would buy an Eotech |
