Q
GARY SNYDER, member, from PA, United States, asked on December 30, 2018

Is the red dot crisp and well defined DOT?? Or is it like most of these, an exploding star??

Featured Answer
A
Answered by Wzrd, member, from MD, United States, on April 11, 2019

The dot is crisper than most other red dots I’ve used (Vortex, Trijicon, Redfield, Burris, Bushnell). It has a slight starburst effect but is better than most others, at least in my experience.

I am interested in this optic. I have a smith & Wesson AR sport 2, do I need any special mount for this?

As long as your receiver has the standard picatinny rail, this will mount to it with no additional parts needed.

It comes with a picatinny mount that allows for a lower 1/3 co-witness on an AR-15. For other mounting options please contact us at techsales@opticsplanet.com with the make, model, and caliber of the firearm you wish to mount this to.

Q
Duane, guest, from WI, United States, asked on January 15, 2018

Thinking of installing on a 357 mag revolver. Will it take the recoil shock? Tried a Weaver and the results were disastrous. Weaver was no help at all

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Mark H., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 30, 2018

That optic would be too tall, it is intended for use on a flat-top AR with a picatinny rail.

I don;t know what make or model of .357 you have, so I can't recommend a specific mount, but Weigand has some very robust mounts for popular revolvers:

I would recommend something like the Burris FastFire II or III:

the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro is another excellent choice:
