Red Dot Sight (RDS) pistols represent an evolution in the pistol shooting world. What was once relegated to competition shooters has now made its way into Everyday Carry (EDC), target, law enforcement, and home defense pistols. RDS sights offer several advantages such as the ability to quickly identify targets with both eyes open, aiding vision-challenged shooters in finding their sights, and faster target-to-target transition & acquisition. The downsides to RDS are there is a learning curve to using them correctly without having to “fish around” for the dot, they may be more prone to breakage, and of course, many require regular battery replacement.
