Best budget pistol red dot! - Truglo TG8100G Tru-Tec 1x 23x17mm 3 MOA Green Dot Black

I initially purchase this micro red dot with little expectation for my XDM compact. However, after purchasing and trying out more expensive higher end red dots, there was little to no difference at all. Well, not for the price at least.
The aircraft aluminum material used to house the lens is sturdy and feels a lot better than most other micro red dots. Matter of fact, a lot of them are made with polymer, ie. SigSauer Romeo Zero.
As for the dot itself, it is crisp and clear with adjustable brightness with rubber up and down arrows on the side.
Lightweight, crisp, reliable, auto shutoff, compact size, reliable zero. Not sure what else you can ask for at this price!!
