I purchased this product for a customer and it was as described. This was mounted to a S&W Model 29 with ease on a picatinny rail. The quality was right in line with the pricing with great basic functionality. The sight came with an Allen wrench making the sight-in process seamless. Large illumination dial that was easy to turn on and adjust with brightness settings that were easy to read. Highly recommend for anyone needing an inexpensive red dot for sporting use.

This is not a cheap piece of plastic, but its metal and is a pretty bright optic, with great eye relief for 2-eye open shooting. I have NO idea what it shoot like at ranges beyond 50 feet, or how it holds up to runnin'and gunnin', but for my purposes its pretty decent for the price.
Would recommend: Yes

The sight worked great for about 60 rounds, then the intensity adjustment wheel started falling off. I can see the screws but it doesn’t look like there’s any way to get to them. It was the first time I had fired this new weapon. I’ll try to return this sight as soon as possible.
Would recommend: No

For the money, this is a great, well made Reddot Sight. Aluminum housing is very sturdy. Five brightness settings for both Red and Green. I would buy more if I needed then. The free shipping is really slow.

I own two of these and they work just great. The two colors and 5 brightness settings for each is great. Both are mounted on AR platforms used for 100 yard or less shooting. Fast, flexible..............You CAN'T BEAT IT! I think this is a little large for use on handguns, but it works GREAT on AR's. You have to be sure to turn it off after use because it does not have an "auto off" feature.
Cons:
- to large for most handguns
Would recommend: Yes

A nice little sight for the price. Optics are clear and ease of use is excellent !!! Put this on a GSG-5 I own and it is a good compliment for that plinker...You get what you pay for..no useless Bells and whistles..Easy to use and a Breeze to install. A 2.5 MOA Dot would be a nice compliment to add but overall a Nice Little sight well worth the Money $$$ spent..

I bought this sight to mount on a 9mm AR type rifle. After bore-sighting, I took it to the range and the green dot worked fine. I was impressed. Next time out, the click adjustment dial for Green stopped working, no green dot! Lucky for me, Red still worked. Checked warranty when I got back. TruGlo wants me to get a return authorization before returning the sight with a $12.00 payment for return shipping. That sucks!
I'll use it till the Red dot stops working, then get a better quality sight.
Would recommend: No

I mounted this to my AR platform using a 1" riser before taking it to the range. I have it co-witnessed with my iron sights as a result the dot was easy to acquire and quick to sight in within 3 shots. My wife and I shot over 500 rounds the first day without any issues. Two weeks later I took my wife and daughter and we blasted through another 500 rounds again with no issues. This was the first time my daughter had even shot the AR15 and she absolutely loved the red dot sight picture. Both She and my wife stayed in the 9 ring of a 12x18 inch target at 50 yards. Even though the dot almost covered the same target at 100 yards I was able to keep the rounds in the black standing off hand. It is no EOTech but it is very nice sight for under $100.00.
Pros:
- Brightness settings
- Low cost, solid mount
- Hooded, great in extreme sunlight
Would recommend: Yes

Great purchase for me. Using on a Browning Buckmark Hunter .22 hand gun. This site is all that I expected for my first sight purchase. This sight has helped in my accuracy as I need glasses to see close and it was difficult for me to use the pistol sights and focus on the target. With this sight I am now able to focus on the target with the red or green dot and makes shooting more enjoyable. Easy to calibrate, install and use. No regrets.

This sight has very good eye relief, and fast target acquisition. You can easily draw and shoot whatever you need to with both eyes open. It has a bright dot that can be seen in all types of lighting, and a very sturdy design. It is a good sight for an affordable price.
