Great red dot foe the glock 41 - Gideon Optics Granite MOS Competition 1x 28.33x22.5mm Reflex Red Dot Sight

Purchased this optic for a recently purchased Glock 41 MOS in 45ACP. My first ever Glock and first ever large bore pistol I've put an optic on. Really easy to mount directly to the slide. Optic comes with an additional Picatinny mount, and you simply use the two screws from the PIC mount to directly screw the Optic onto the MOS mount on the slide. No additional plate required so this system is very sturdy. Optic is very well built, and the glass screen is very clear. I've watched YouTube reviews that torture tested this sight and the sight's durability was impressive. The 8 MOA dot serves very well at the ranges I shoot, usually 25 yards or less, and the brightness settings are very nice and visible even on the brightest sunlit day. I have astigmatism and at the lowest useable brightness setting the dot is plenty clear with very minor distortion. Windage and elevation were easily adjustable, and it was easy to bring the dot on target. I've only put a couple hundred rounds through the pistol so far and the dot seems to maintain zero well and is still tight on the slide. The large widow is awesome and it's very easy to find the dot. The side mount battery compartment is great and on and off functions all work very well. My only very minor complaint, related to the optic and not to the horrible trigger on the Glock *S*, is I wish the optic came with a dust cover like all the optics I have on my carbines. Overall, time will tell, but so far, I love this optic, and the price is very reasonable for the features you get. Will eventually buy another for e 9mm.
