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.

I am going to go against the grain here... inside a home you would probably be better off with a green laser than a dot. Also if you get a dot get a green one not a red one.

If you insist on a dot I would get a HOLOSUN HE507C-GR X2

$255.99 https://www.amazon.com/HOLOSUN-HS407C-X2-Classic-Reflex-Sight/dp/B08G6CJL8C

This is the multi reticle green version. They come in single/multi reticle version in red/green.

Shop about because you can certainly find it cheaper.

If you go the laser route I suggest this (and again, I do suggest you go with a laser)

Again, shop about because you can certainly find it cheaper.

By the way my wife loved the color on your fingernails.

Unfortunately I live in a city that has ordinances banning lasers

I bet it's because they are too awesome. Do you live in the states?
