If you are any kind of marksman you should be able to do with iron sights what you can with a scope

If you're talking about red dot sights, for low round-count, range use where maximum reliability isn't a factor, look at Primary Arms. I can't vouch for their quality but the store itself has good customer service and the owner is reputed to be a stand-up guy. He makes no bones about these being budget optics. I don't know how long they'll stand up to 5.56 recoil or how accurate they are...reviews are mixed as they often are on these Chines imports, but they might meet your needs. The Vortex sights have a little better reputation and would be worth considering.
If you're talking about 1-4x scopes, Vortex, Bushnell and Nikon are supposed to be pretty good for the money. Vortex Optics |

As far as optics gor for an AR platform. Leupold just came out with there MARKAR Series that are specifically designed around the AR. I have used them and the quality is awesome espically if you mount them up with a Lareau Tactical Mount. I have the 6x18 mildot.
For red dot EOTECH is the way to go. It's pricy but well worth it. RRA offers a mount for them that lets them cowitness with your ironsights. |

The Eotech inline battery series tends to be problematic with failure of battery contacts a known issue. Better IMHO is the XPS/EXPS series where a CR123 lithium is mounted transversely. I think the Eotech OPMOD sold by Optics Planet is an outstanding bargain at $495 if you don't need compatibility with night vision equipment. I've had one on my SBR for thousands of rounds without a hiccup. I just recently put an Aimpoint PRO on my Light Recce. I haven't shot it much, but it's a nice optic and at $400 it's an excellent bargain. Problem with that optic is that it's only available to law enforcement or military. Virtually all of the RDS co-witness with the iron sights. The preference comes into play as to where you want them to co-witness -- either in the center of the optic, or in the lower 1/3. Personally, I prefer co-witnessing in the lower 1/3 and use a 7mm riser on all my Eotechs. The PRO with stock mount co-witnesses somewhere between the middle and the lower 1/3 and I haven't had an issue with that, what little I've used it. The Eotech EXPS series (including the OPMOD) includes the 7mm riser, so all of them co-witness in the lower 1/3 out of the box. The riser is removable for those who prefer co-witnessing in the center. Last edited by MacCool; 09-14-2011 at 05:18 PM. |

Hey guys!
Here is a pic of one like mine... Its a Ruger P95, with a laser pointer, and about 300+ bullets plus 30 for personal defense. I took it once to a shooting range with a friend and fired like 600 bullets but haven't used it since. After I bought it, I realized that I couldn't conceal it, so I will need to buy another 9mm with a smaller factor. I also want to buy a .22 to keep at home for market-crash type scenarios.
