Pistol sights are a simple way to help increase your accuracy in just about any shooting situation. It’s important to have the right quality equipment and gun accessories to get the best out of shooting your pistol. There are lower-end options for pistol red dot sights but it’s good to have reliable options if you are going to be training regularly at the gun range with your pistol.
These red dot reflex sights are much smaller than rifle red dot sights but many pistol sights can be used on rifles as well depending rail type. If you want to use these as rifle sights you can but, we recommend using these as pistol sights due to their size.
Here is the List of the Best Pistol Red Dot Sights from Amazon

Summary
This is a basic yet quality red dot sight for your pistol. The Vortex Venom Red Dot fits on Glock MOS (Modular Optic System) and other .22 caliber pistols very easily. What I love about the Vortex Venom Red Dot is the option to choose from 2 different MOA models. The Vortex Venom Red Dot VMD-3103 is a 3 MOA red dot sight while the Vortex Venom Red Dot VMD-3106 is a 6 MOA red dot sight. I personally like the 3 MOA option because I like the precision when I fire but that is just me. 6 MOA comes in handy when you need to acquire targets faster. Choose which ever fits your shooting style the best.
