Lets talk reflex sights

[repete]

I've scoped a few handguns before but never used a reflex sight before and never used anything on a semi auto other than open sights. Now as I get older my eyes have a problem picking up the front sight and I'd like your thoughts on reflex on a 1911 in .45acp (flame away). I don't compete and would like to keep the costs down, so any recommendations?

Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

me personally i just cant get past Trijicon, yes there are a few others i would recommend with a caveat. and yes there are a lot of improvements coming out. (hell the trijicon RMR isnt even designed to be used on a pistol) here is one i have been semi hesitant to look at for myself but also...
