I have a 507k that I am happy with so far.
If you want to try a red dot without spending as much, I recommend the $100 Riton that Bereli sells with free shipping. I have one on another gun I recently purchased that I like, especially for the price.

I have a few - latest is a 5.7 from PSA w/Holosun and believe it or not I can hit the paper at 100yds and I shake like a dog pooping peach sheeds - best is a S&W Performance Ctr 9mm that makes shooting easier and funner - I think the ones with tall fixed sights for co-witness are easier to hit the bull than a red dot that is above the iron sights JMO
If you have any Astigmatism at all, go look through a Red Dot first!
For me I'll stick with red in optics. I do prefer green fibre optic rods and green lasers work far better in bright conditions, but in a RDO red just "pops" better for me.
I had to switch most of my handguns to red dots. With age, my reading distance is shot so I can either see my sights or the target but both are out of reach. I can still getaway with slow target practice but quick acquisition was slipping. I carry religiously so having confidence you can hit what you’re aiming at is pretty important!
Red dots have been a game changer for me. My carry is a sig p365xl with a Romeo zero on it and it’s excellent. Optics Planet had these on sale for something like $127 (Romeo Zero) - much less than Sig website and the new ones come with a metal shroud.
My FN509 Tac is running a RMR. I’ve used both the Burris and vortex. The sig and RMR seem a little better.
The tough thing is that’s it’s difficult to add to a gun that wasn’t designed for it but I would highly recommend.

I looked at a red and a green, and the green really popped out for me so I have one on the way. Should be here in a couple of days. I also changed the backstrap and that gun feels like it was made for my hand now. Significantly better than my 365 X. If it shoots as good as it handles it may relegate my X to a pocket pistol only. Paul, at PJ, is making a holster for it. I should have it all put together around the first of the year.
