Thought some of you might find this useful and/or interesting. The summary is presented at the link below but there's a link in the article to the full 64 page study...
Results of a 4 Year Handgun Red Dot Study by Sage Dynamics
This was really interesting and good to know...
In short, quality modern red dots are durable, handgun mounted red dots allow the shooter's focal point to remain on target, and handgun mounted red dots drastically improve accuracy.
Handgun red dot sights are all the rage these days, but also the source of a lot of controversy – much like red dot sights for rifles not that many years ago. As technology improves, micro red dots durability improves, and batteries last longer – the pistol red dot is only going to get more popular. At this rate, red dots on a pistol will be as ubiquitous as optics on a carbine.
To prove that point, Aaron Cowan from Sage Dynamics has spend the last 4 years conducting a study on the use of handgun red dot sights, specifically for police duty handguns.

Interestingly, this handgun red dot study also found Energizer and Sony batteries cannot reliably withstand the handguns' recoil, but Duracell's batteries held up to a handgun's recoil.
