I was going to put an Ultra Dot Match II on it like I have on my 629, which I do like. But then I started kicking around maybe going for the Aimpoint 9000SC this time...Is it worth the extra $$?? Does anyone have experience with both that could offer some insight?? Thanks in advance...

It has worked so well, I put one on my BFR in 500 JRH and after a few issues with the return spring that Ultradot fixed at no charge, I have been able to put about 200 full house rounds through it with no issues. From my experience, Ultradots are the way to go if you are scoping a hand cannon. Just my 2 cents Good Shooting!! Last edited by adbhowler; 04/04/2019 3:48 PM.
