I've been toying with the idea of getting a small light dot sight such as a Burris FastFire or Leupold DeltaPoint. Are there any other competing types? Any opinions or experiences concerning the ones that I mention? My farsighted eyes do not do well with iron sights anymore. I was thinking that one of these small dot sights might be just the ticked for a handgun that I might use for protection against an angry bruin.

Recoil, from what I understand, Ultra Dot is the one you are looking for.

I have an Optima on my Bisley 45, which I really like. They are long discontinued but you can find a used one now and again on auctions or classifieds. The J-Point is much like it and would be my choice for a new one.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

I can identify with your problem. Without special prescription shooting glasses I can't focus on iron sights anymore. I've fitted JPoints to both my SRH .454 Casull and my Glock. Stands up to 454 recoil and being slide mounted on the Glock. I'm very happy with them. Not optically perfect but quite functional. Also not as precise as a scope but faster. Easy to use in low light conditions when iron sights wouldn't be usable.

Interesting that you would mention a .454 SRH because that is the firearm that I was thinking about mounting a dot sight on. I might give a JPoint a try.

Recoil, take a look at the Trijicon red dot. I have one on my Freedom Arms 454 and it is holding up just fine.

I have J-Points on my .475 L and my .500 WE; they work fine. The mount for the Ruger Single Shots was discontinued, but are available for Ruger double actions, which should work for the Ruger SRH. http://www.jprifles.com/1.6.1a.phpScroll down to #JPA-RR.
