I purchased for use with target air pistol. The cosmetics and size are an excellent fit for the application. Construction is solid and mounting a snap. Difficult to zero in at standard air pistol range distance of 20 ft, but step back to 25 ft and one can sight in with a sustainable zeroed range of between 12 - 33 feet with no auxillary Kentucky Windage adjustment. The only suggestion I have is to reduce the dot diameter or provide a switch over option between the current dot size and a finer one for close range target shooting.

The clarity of the sight was very poor,and I was out of adjustment almost immediately. I took it off and threw it back in the box. Will give it away to someone eventually, but it will not go back on my gun.

Sight worked as advertized but has a red dot so large that it would only suit very large targets at short range. Not good for target work at all.

Pros:  Inexpensive, small, lightweight, good optics.
Cons:  Can not stand-up to the recoil on a 12 gauge shotgun! Would be perfect for airsoft or paintball use!
Would recommend:  yes

I really wanted to like this little sight. You definitely can't beat the OpticsPlanet price on this one! Great optics, easily visible LED dot that easy to zero-in. My only problem is that the sight tends to slide in the mounts no matter how tight it is attached to the rail. Not the best choice for heavy recoil shotguns. Would be a great sight on airsoft or paintball weapons!!!! I'm going to buy the Pentax Gameseeker Sight Scope (YORD 89701) to replace this one when I can afford it.
