RLP from United States, VA Public Profile

OK, I'm not an expert shooter by any means, so take this with a grain of salt. I find the gap a bit too large for me. Compared to the stock rear sight supplied with the Ruger 57, I find it easier to hit the target with stock sight. I find it more difficult to center the front sight in the rear sight of the Tandemkross Eagle Rear Sight. Simply too much room in the gap to play with. I have not tried the peep sight yet.

Two of these units were purchased. One for a Ruger 57 and one for a Ruger Security 9. The green dot is bright and sharp and the auto brightness seems to work well. They appear to be holding zero but I have not used them extensively as of yet. The auto off and shake awake features are working well. The dot turns off after two minutes and turns on with just a touch of the weapon. Only time will tell if they will hold up.

This Micro dot is fine but there are others with similar features at a lower cost.

Full disclosure, I'm a newbie when it comes to red dots of any type. This red dot is mounted on a Ruger 57 and it fits fine. Once it was zeroed in, it works fine. The dot brightness and size is a bit more than just adequate (in other words, it is fine). The site picture is fine but I wish it was a bit larger (but then again is this a ultra compact micro dot).

One thing I really don't like are the elevation and windage adjustment screws. They are very small and have a single slot (not phillips). Finding the slot with the supplied tool is a real bugger. They really should be a phillps or torx type screw. I will heading to the hardware store to purchase a slotted screw driver that fits these tiny screws and with a much larger handle so that adjusting the elevation and windage is an easier proposition.

Over all it is an OK red dot, I just believe it is a bit high priced for what you receive.
