Now up to 4 fastfires and retired optima 2000 - Burris FastFire Reflex Red-Dot Sight Mounting Plates

My second review. I am now up to 4 Fastfires - all bought on this site!. I have retired my Optima 2000 and am considering a new home for it. The only oddity that the Burris has that can cause problems is the intensity steps. In low light like a fairly dark indoor range, the low intensity dot is sometimes hard to see. At the other end of the spectrum under bright conditions, the dot is perhaps too bright and has some flaring out of the dot. It is hard for me to really say, I have had multiple cornea transplants and see multiple images anyway but it does bother me a bit. The really good news is that the red-dot type sights like the Fastfire make it possible for me to shoot pistol as I cannot see conventional sights at all! FYI, I just finished the NRA Bullseye pistol qualifications through Expert. I am working on Distinguished Expert now. All because of the Fastfires.
Pros: Light, easy to see, Easy to install
Cons: Dot sometimes hard to see in low-light settings
