truglo red dot

I was looking at a tru glo red dot for my PLR16 are they any good? It looks like a millet and just has the red dot.

I'd look at a Primary Arms Micro Dot for just a few dollars more.

I bought a true glo with the red and green reticle that gives you four options to choose from. I think it was around $80.00. We put it on an AR a few times but most of the time it was just in a box of stuff that went to the lake with us and back about 15 times. It was less than a year and 1/2 old when I checked it one day and the lighted reticle inside was way over against the left side of the tube. And there it stays. Its history and I would not buy another. It got very little use and wasn't really banged around but it's broken.

I bought one that had the sun shade already installed. Absolutely worthless if the sun is out at all. I don't know if all red dots are like that but this one sucked.

I got one with the sunshade on it for my turkey gun. In hindsight for the quality/price I would have stuck with open sights.

The Truglo and Millet are both ok. It just depends on what you need it for. I put one on my .22 and it wasn't very helpful at rimfire range because of the size of the dot. It covered up small targets completely and made precise accuracy difficult.
