There's a good number of scopes and red-dot type sights out there, each with their own following. I don't have one myself, yet, but likely will get one soon.

I took my nephew with me today to the indoor range so he could try out the PS90 after I got the Zeiss red dot scope zeroed in. It was easy to keep all the rounds in the black at 50 yards on a 25-yard slowfire pistol target.

I couldn't zero in the green laser because it doesn't have enough windage adjustment to compensate for being so far to the side of the bore's centerline. I suspect I will have to shim.

Still, now that the red dot is zeroed, all I have to do is "steer" the green dot to match the red one. I don't even have to be on the range, or use ammo, to do that.

Even so, the green beam got high marks for coolness from firing points on either side of me. I just couldn't return the compliment because they were firing something on one side that had a muzzle blast that went 10 yards downrange. The other side was firing a .50 Desert Eagle. It was too much gun for the guy, because I watched him put three rounds in the metal roof baffles. He was a friend of the owner, so he didn't get his ass thrown out.

Green light & Red dot, very cool Winmag. That sounds like a very cool set-up. Bet your nephew had a great time with that. Haven't seen one on the range so far.

Too bad you had to share the range with an idjit. Sounds like he was definitely overgunned with that Desert Eagle.
