Hey One Ton:
Checked the laundry room, no spare red dot. Headed to the storage locker tomorrow (at least planned). See if I can find it and will let you know.

GREAT information in this thread!
My wife and I have been shooting Precision Pistol matches at Howell Gun Club, and both switched from iron sights to red dot tube optics last year.
We're using these inexpensive Simmons 1x24mm red dot tubes with quite good success;

My favorite aspect of these is that not only is the dot intensity adjustable, but the dot size can also be set at 3,5,8 or 10 MOA.
I've settled on 5MOA and the Intensity at 4 (of 11), which works well with my astigmatism
Hope that helps!

Some good suggestions. If you by chance wear glasses or contacts and have astigmatism get a prism ted dot.
I grabbed a vortex and primary arms which are fine at low brightness, medium turns one dot to three dots, cranked up all the way it turns more like 5 ugly dots.
Im still keeping them. Just wish i knew a couple years ago.

Can you expand on this a bit?
I bought a Vortex razor reflex that looked good in the store at low/ med intensity but get it cranked up out side in bright sun and it goes from your three dots to 1/2 dozen with a starburst around the bunch. It’s annoying as...well you know. I talked to my ophthalmologist and was told proper glasses should correct my stigmatism, but no go. He then told me it was likely my cataract but wasn’t sure. He is not a shooter BTW and had no idea what a reflex sight was when I started talking to him about this.

I am not really able to explain the science behind it, its some sort of radius reflection math related to the lens of the red dot reflector and your eye.
I just know if you have astigmatism, and you get a prism red dot, this is what a regular red dot looks like to someone with better not afflicted eyes.
I do not have cataracts, just regular barely need glasses, light prescription, stayed almost the same for 20 years. I only need them for long distances, I do not need glasses up close, otherwise healthy eyes, so I am not sure its your cataracts, if you have diagnosed astigmatism that is for sure the reason.
Hey One Ton:
Going to need a complete address to send it to you. Need the city and zip please. Send me another PM
Red dot in mail, they said you will have it monday but do not be surprised if it shows up Saturday. Hope to see you on the line shortly.
