Looking to put an optic on my Ruger Mk III. I don't know a lot about them. A bit of background, I'm 48 and a bit far-sighted (need to break down and go buy real glasses instead of readers) so irons are starting to get a bit fuzzy, but I'm wondering if I'd like a red dot of some sort. I don't know anyone who runs them, so I'd be on my own.
I thought I'd try one on the little Ruger (picatinny mount), and if I like it, plan on having the slide milled on a 1911 (and maybe a couple other pistols) sometime down the road. A Ruger .22 is one thing, but do optics play nice with +P .45 ACP loads and a slide slamming back and forth a few thousand times?
Was looking at the Burris FastFire 2 to start, then possibly graduate to the FF4 with multiple reticles down the road if I like the concept.
The FastFire 2 claims a 4MOA dot, I'm guessing this translates into covering 1" of target at 25 yards?
Any and all advice appreciated!!
