Holo sight for Ruger MKII pistol

How about fifty bucks?

I have one that changes from red to green, three brightness levels and four thumb-switchable reticles.

It's made by AIM Sports, model RT4-03.

I have it insatalled on my MkIII- It's the best darn thing you have ever seen. Dirt cheap.

Now, if you rally want to spend $400 on an Eotech, I'm not gonna stop you. But I don't throw my target gun on the ground and crawl through mud with it, so this unit works great for me.

Let me know if you want pics, I can post.

If youy want to check it out in person, I'm about 5 minutes from Campsite. These are available from numerous internet places and eBay for about $50. And yeah, I know I need to trim that rail down now!

I have only seen the low profile one with a little loupe window. I don't mind the higher profile because it gives a really nice window well clear of the front sight and I am not such a good shooter that the parallax is an issue-except maybe at really close ranges. A 1/2" difference between 25 yards and 15 yards exceeds my personal ability to steady the gun, but the bigger window makes life a lot easier for gatting on target faster. For me, anyway, YMMV. Or maybe you like the aesthetics of the little loupe type configuration. I don't think the versions I saw of the low profile sight had all the features. this may or may not matter to you. I find a circle reticle is a little easier for me to get concentric on a target than a single dot, but both work and that's personal preference.

The neatest thing about these sights if you have not used one is that eye relief is practically unlimited and of course your eye focuses on the target AND the dot at the same time just like a scope, This was really an issue for me on the long sight radius of the MkIIII because with a good focus on the front sight, the rear notch was really indistinct and hard for me to "feel" properly. Now I have to blame my hands for the bad shooting, not my eyes!

I believe the technology of these sights is LED reflex, while the Eotechs are laser reflex. I know the latter has that weird laser "sparkle" if you look very closely, these do not. But these are the best thing going for the price IMO. They work amazingly well, and i still can't believe they don't cost $300-$400. Mine does tend to ghost a bit if you turn it up to full brightness, but then again it works ij full sun at only half brighness so who cares? If I have to shoot directly into a nuclear firaball, I'm sure a faint ghost image will be the least of my problems. I'm not sure what causes it I think it's a bounced reflection from the thickness of the lens.

Luckily .22 is a small casing, but you may have to watch ejection port clearance on the wider models. The MkIII comes with a rail shipped loose in the box and predrilled holes that are filled with stainless grub screws. I don't know what a MKII comes with, but drilling and tapping some holes is not too much drama, any competent smith should be able to do it inexpensively.
