Red Dots on defensive pistols...

[Ryninger]

A question for those of you that run them... Do you leave them on then entire time you are carrying them or are they co-witnessed with your sights? I see the potential benefit of one, but what if you find yourself in a situation where it is needed rapidly and not on?

Always on, and co-witnessed with my sights. I wouldn't run one that turned off or was so bad on batteries that you couldn't leave it on 24x7.

May I ask what you are running?

Are you actually running a suppressor on it for HD?

Not currently. The suppressor sights allow absolute cowitness with the rmr the way it's mounted on my gun. But I'll probably add a silencerco osprey to my collection soon, and then it will be a yes.

I guess I should add that I don't consider it my primary HD gun -- I do run a suppressor on my primary HD gun.

What he said. I'm running an RMR02 on my M&P

Thanks. I've been planning on doing something similar for quite a while.

One of the mods put up a really good post on defensive red dot for pistol. If you haven't read through it, it's a pretty good read with some valuable information. While it might not be the model and setup you're looking at, it's still got some valid points.
