Hi can anyone give me some advice on which Red Dot Sight to buy for a pistol?

Moved here from the Emergency Planning forum.

The shield mini sights are well rated by folk.

What pistol and what purpose would be a good slice of opening information.

Unless this is actually an emergency?

Bloody typical, the zombies are on the rampage and i've come into work! Should have enough time to get back home before they work their way up from Sheffield though

Sight will depend on how you want/can mount it. If its slide mounted it'll need to be a micro red-dot so shield mini sight, Burris Fastfire, or if you've got deep pockets Docter or Trijicon RMR.

If you're using a side/frame mount you can have something larger like a Burris TRS25, Aimpoint mini etc.

Calibre and level of use will determine how cheap you can go.

Its a K22 and it will be use for shooting targets out to 25yrd tops, its going on a universal rail that's fixed to the small weaver rail under the pistol, and there is loads of zombies in Sheffield, there mostly on the blue side.

Edtited to remove foul language.

Vortex Venom 3 MOA, about £180.

C-More Railway. 6moa as standard from Double Alpha but you can get replacement leds. I have the C-More Serendipity originally in 2moa on my 1911. A fellow shooter with a K22 and mount like yours bought the one below from Double Alpha and I immediately saw the benefit of the 6moa (assuming you're shooting PP) so swapped.

Whatever you do don't buy any of the "clones" from EvilBay. They're cheap and when you try to shoot accurately with them you'll find out why. They have parallax......

Thanks for the help lads, I didn't think there was as many pistol red dots as what there is, now just got to decide which one.
When I wanted a sight for my AR, I couldn't make my mind up so I ended up buying both.

As an indicator the vortex comes with a lifetime warranty....

Cheers pal.
