Is a 2 MOA red dot too small?Smaller dots—1 to 2.5 MOA—are used for precise shots at longer distances. 5, 6, 6.5 and larger MOA dots will get you on target faster but will be less precise because the dot will cover a broader area on the target.
What is a micro red dot sight?Generally speaking, micro red dot optics are compact reflector, or “reflex,” type sight systems designed specifically for semi-automatic pistols. A clear, curved, non-magnified lens acts as the reflector for a focused beam of light projected by a light-emitting diode (LED).
What is the lightest red dot sight?The Aimpoint Micro H-1 is among the lightest red dot sights on the market and still tough enough to carry the Aimpoint name.
What is the best red dot size for pistol?What MOA is best for a pistol? In the question of 3 MOA vs 6 MOA, the 6 MOA red dot sight is better for pistols— whether it's plinking, target shooting, or home defense. Given the gun's design, you most likely won't be shooting past 100 yards. A larger dot reticle will start to lose precision at farther distances.
