    Burris or Venom would be my choice. If you want to leave your iron sights on the gun just attach a rail and mount the RDS on that. That's what I did am totally satisfied with the results. Down the road you pull the dot off and sell the pistol to some Boomer like me who used to use irons when he was 15. Then he finds out he can't see well enough to shoot it and mounts a RDS on it.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    Unfortunately, while they corrected the error in the mkiv and started including sights, the mkiii tactical came without any.

    We might not even be having this conversation if what I owned was the mkiv...

    (Not my pic, but same configuration I own)

    I didn’t realize they did a version without sights at all. Is it dovetailed?

    nope, nothing. top and bottom rail. At the time if you wanted a bottom rail it was either this model or go get it drilled & tapped.

    In that case, if it were mine I’d pop a FastFire 3 on the top rail and drive on.

    Anybody care to debate the merits of various MOA.

    I tend to prefer larger, but I do OK with smaller too - I can always turn up the brightness and bloom it out when needed. That said I’ve always used my Surefire 3 on auto.
