Yep. I had a 3 MOA dot on my Burris FF3 (got it in a trade, didn't buy it) and it was too damn small. 8 is probably a good compromise but 12 isn't horrible on a handgun like it would be on a rifle.For a defensive pistol, I would go 6 or 8 dot. 3 is too small for quick acquisition under stress.
Blasphemy! You can buy gadgets that negate skill. In order to be a world champion you just got to get a TapCo catalog and get out your credit card!
This is why I haven't seriously looked into setting up a red dot on a pistol. I have an astigmatism and I don't know if I could use a red dot like I did before.Which one do you have? I have a 6.5 (RM07) that I might be interested in swapping for a 3.25. My astigmatism makes a 3.25 look like an 8.
For some reason I cant edit my post to add the right image for the 507 C.This is why I haven't seriously looked into setting up a red dot on a pistol. I have an astigmatism and I don't know if I could use a red dot like I did before.
I think something like the Holosun 507 C with the circle, circle dot, or dot reticle would work better for me on a handgun.
I had to go to a prism scope on long guns because a 2moa dot looked like a big star.

Circle dot is the way for me. If the dot wanders off to the side, the edge of the circle is still in view and makes it faster to get the dot back on target.
Agree with others that if you don't have a range handy, put a spot on the wall in the garage or shop and practice drawing to bring the dot to the target. The secret is to not get it down once and then never keep the practice up. It doesn't take long to lose that training.
