It’s time to lock, load, and light up your target! In this episode of Trigger Happy Tactical, we’re diving headfirst into the world of pistol red dots. Are they the best thing since sliced bread, or just another overpriced gimmick? We break down the pros and cons, the different types of red dots, and most importantly—how to pick the right one without selling a kidney.

 

We’ll also cover:

  •  Red dots vs. iron sights – which is right for you?
  •  How red dots actually work (and what they aren’t)
  •  Open vs. closed emitters – which is better?
  •  Red vs. Green dots – does color matter?
  •  The biggest mistakes people make when using a red dot
  •  What makes a good red dot, and what to avoid

 

Whether you’re a die-hard iron sights shooter or already running a dot, this episode will give you the insight you need to make the best choice. So charge those batteries, zero those dots, and let’s send it!
