For more discussion, please visit www.darklordofoptics.com This video is mostly a "through the scope" look at the reticle, although it also gives you some idea of the depth of field. The discussion of the reticle illumination starts at the 7 minute mark. MRAD version: https://alnk.to/4MuMajA MOA version: https://alnk.to/e70W9C6 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ1-m8UsJY4

That means low profile red dot sights are very important and that is why I tend to use Shield RMS or similar sights. All Shield RMS sights have the same mounting pattern but come in two different widths: Shield RMSc is a compact red dot sight for narrow slides: https://bit.ly/2ZgWZRh Shield RMS is a touch wider for regular slides: https://bit.ly/339VENt Shield RMSw is a slightly beefed up and waterproof version of the RMS. I have been using RMS and RMSc for a while and I am very happy with them. RMSw is newere, but so far, so good. All three are very low profile which is key for the way I like to set up red dot sights on handguns. Other red dot sights mentioned in the video that fit the same mounting pattern are Sig's Romeo Zero (https://bit.ly/3h8JIR9) and SwampFox Sentinel (https://www.swampfoxoptics.com/sentinel) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkEySHSc3o4
