My new favorite red dot - Canik Mecanik M03 1x29mm Competition Reflex Red Dot Sight

I've tried almost all of the most popular, highly rated red dot sights. They are all reliable, work well, but many lacking in ease of use and effective features. Most are way over priced. I ordered the Mechanic MO3 only because I recently acquired the Canik TTi Combat 9mm pistol and it seemed that this optic was made with that pistol in mind. To my pleasant surprise, the MO3 is packed full of effective features. For starters it has a huge 29mm x 24mm field of view, so you get a great sight picture without looking like you bolted a toaster to the top of your slide. It has a sleek and slim appearance that looks great on my pistol. Next, it has an easy to use top entry battery compartment so you don't have to unmount and remount your optic for battery change. The buttons are large and easy to use with a positive click. Last but not least, it comes with an elevation/windage Torx adjustment tool that fits tightly in the adjustment screws. You can insert the tool and release it and it stays in place. It may not sound like a big deal, but try making elevation/windage adjustments with a tiny flathead screwdriver (like you get with just about all other red dots) in a dimly lit indoor shooting range stall. Best of all, you can buy it from OP for less than half the cost of many high end red dots. I already bought a second Mecanik for another pistol and will likely buy a third one whenever I acquire my next handgun.
