OPP, I've got an Eosight mounted on a Ruger PC .40 carbine
which I use at night around here for coyotes and personal protection, as I'm in the boonies about 3 miles from the Mex. border. It'll place a five shot group in about 4" at a hundred yards consistantly, which isn't bad for a pistol round in a short barrel. Brightness of the dot adjusts to work in broad daylight to full darkness and runs on N cells. These sights areactually holographic and do give the illusion of a dot projected out in front of the gun...target acquisition is quite fast. They're also expensive. Bushnell sells the identical sight under their name without the metal shroud. These go for about $250, and the Eo's are about $375+. If you have the $$$ no reason it wouln't work just fine. They do however sit rather high on the gun, as the battery compartment and electronics are housed beneath the optics. I don't find it a problem as it keeps your head up. Wherever your dot is is where the round goes...IOW the dot isn't necessarily centered in the glass nor does your eye need to be aligned to the sight...if you see the dot anywhere in the front of you..you've got a shot, unlike other dot sights. BTW, I've been looking at the ATN Compact Digital dot sight...for one of my Drozd'z. | ||||

Help a modifying maniac out here, guys. I amassed an arsenal of five Drozds with one just sitting all by its little lonesome in a box waiting for an Extreme Makeover. I'm contemplating optics for it.
I know small rifle scopes, etc. I know red dots and red/green dots of varying mm sizes. I know lasers of many types. What I know nothing about is the open holographic type sights. I've seen them, fondled them, switched them on and off and through various reticles. What I'd appreciate here from you guys that have them mounted on your guns is a bit of a dissertation on how you like them. What lengths do you have? How is the target acquisition speed, brightness on a sunny day, favorite reticle format, etc. Give thoughts to fill an empty brain on the subject. I would deeply appreciate it and even pray for your batteries to stay charged a bit longer than normal. What price ranges and brands are good? Post pic's too. | ||||
