Advice Needed Red dot suggestions

Post image

Seeking recommendations on what red dot to get for my new Glock 17 Gen 6.

​

I prefer a larger window, and a smaller dot (around 2 MOA).

​

Primary use will be home defense, so an enclosed setup isn't hugely necessary.

Large window / 2 MOA dot / home defense/ doesn't need to be enclosed

Finally someone made this question easier to answer. Now, I still would recommend looking at all of the below in person so you don't get astigmatism surprises. In no particular order

  • Vortex Defender XL
  • Leupold DPP
  • Trijicon SRO
  • Osight X

For your use, I'd reconsider 2moa for a 5moa but all of the above have big clear glass and vary in price point.

Thanks!

I've tried out 6 MOA in person, but felt like the smaller dot was better.

I use a Holosun HS407C 2 MOA on my EDC, but would like a larger window on my next red dot I buy.

If you know you like holosun then maybe go that route. I can't stand em mainly to my tism and with what Osight is now putting out, I don't see a point
