I'm looking for some advice for red dots on my FNX45 Tactical. I've tried two already and they didn't work so great for me.
I got a Holosun HS407K. It's nice little red dot but it's too small for me. I was having an impossible time finding the dot. I happened to have a HS507C. This worked better but I still struggled with it.
Two things to keep in mind: I have uveitis so my eye sight isn't perfect. I use red dots on many of my long guns but don't have any prior experience with red dots in hand guns and don't plan on spending extra time to learn well enough to put one on every pistol I own. I will spend time shooting my FNX but it's just a range toy unless I can learn to shoot it better.
There are a few red dots that have large windows. The best that I have seen are the Trijicon SRO, Leupold Delta Point Pro, Vortex Venom, and the Sig Romeo 3 XL.
My issue with most of those is they are $500+, so even though I think it's the smaller of the four I'm leaving towards the Venom. I just can't make myself spend that much money on a range toy and I would rather put that money to a suppressor, which I'm planning to do soon. Thoughts on those 4? Hoping to get input from people who have owned two or more for comparison.
I'm also wondering about a tube style red dot. Like the Holosun I don't know if they make any that will fit a pistol. The reason this came to mind is because I was looking at scopes for one of my revolvers and someone mentioned that the tube is more intuitive than the reflex because of the shape. Thoughts?
