BurrisOptics Hunting Lightweight Versatile FastFire 3 Red Dot Sight, Black

This is one solid holosight.It holds zero with no problems. I'm using it on a very unusual caliber. The pistol is an RIA 22TCM100. The rounds are all tactical. They are like small "necked down" .223. Same casing diameter as 9mm. Which this pistol will fire both 9mm and 22TCM. Comes w both barrels. The mags hold either rd.The muzzle flash is monster. But does not impede the shooter.I ran 400 rounds through the pistol with the Burris attached. No problems. You will need to tighten it down. I'm looking for a smaller footprint screw to do a more permanent retention on the pic rail which I had installed to accommodate the sight.Even after it got hot, and **first** time at the range, the ready screw loosened. I used a penny to tighten it back up. Stayed on zero. stayed tight from there on.I forgot to bring the screwdriver that comes with the sight to dial in the MOA. Had merely bore sighted it at home and it was already near zero.I need to dial it in with just a couple fine minor adjustments and it'll be dead on bullseye.Like others here have said, it takes a couple tries to get a quick acquisition getting used to using such a small holographic. But once you're used to it, the red dot will come right to your eye.And for rapid fire shots, it works very well.I dim it a bit and that's just personal preference.I tried a cheaper holosight and like the saying goes, you get what you pay for. One had the front glass pop right off. A friend used another brand that was NOT cheap and it fell apart.Burris warranties these and stands behind their products as I did go online to various forums.The dot, like others explained is not (perfectly) spherical. But it's close enough to drive nails and it's toughness is what counted for me.On a pistol with a super quick 1911 comp reset trigger, that slide will cycle 18 rounds flying/dumping.So that this sight holds up to such rigorous movement is why I gave it 5 stars.I have other high end larger holos on rifles.I almost put the small Trijicon on this but wow it would've killed my pocket book.I'm very happy I saved my hobby funds and went with this. Although this is not inexpensive by any means, it's not $650-$800 either.It's a perfect happy medium.The guys at the range call it the "RoboCop" as this pistol cal is similar to a 5.7. But the blast is massive while the recoil is nill. I get a lot of curious folk whom I let give her a whirl. All smiles.As a nut for 1911 frames, I went this route over the FN and it was quite a bit less of a price tag..It's a great set up especially now with that Burris.Yes. It'll be a good addition to any pistol set up as far as I'm concerned if you are wanting to use (this type of sight). I'm planning on using this for competitive match.It's not something I meant to carry. Although again, that's personal preference for your specific needs.Good product, good company. I have no complaints. Certainly recommend 👍😋🇺🇸*See photos*

I now own three of these. I got the first one for my turkey shotgun after having some focus issues with my eyes. I hate to admit it, but I am getting a bit older as far as my eyes and a couple of gobblers got out of Dodge when using my turkey scope and/or the vent rib. I researched forever trying to figure out if I wanted 8 or 3 moa and I am so glad I got the 3 as it doesn't cover up my target too much which forces me to aim a bit better. My turkey season last year was a lot more successful with it and after taking that pounding (my 12 gauge kicks like a mule) it still holds the first zero and I haven't adjusted it one bit.Next I decided I wanted to try one of these out on my new handgun; a Canik TP9SFX. Talk about quick to set up and zero, and start dinging the metal target I have. Before this pistol and this set up I couldn't hit the proverbial barn with any type of pistol. I don't know how many times I said I would never own a pistol cause I could never hit anything with em. The Canik and the FF3 sure changed that. That Canik came with just the right optics plate I needed and its just a sturdy, quality set up.I also just got a Taurus TX22 and after once again not being able to focus well on the rear, front, and target with the open sights it was just a no brainer to get the FF3 again. I mean you push the button once and it auto adjusts to the light outside. It has two other settings, but I have never needed them in any light, in any hunting situation, or any target shooting I have done. Hit the button three more times to turn it off. I like simple and dependable things. This is it. I have also never had a battery run out on me yet, but I do have some spares just in case.About the only thing I could ever say bad about it is to just be patient with putting the battery in it and tightening the lid as I can see how it would be easy to strip, but being able to not have to take the sight off the gun to put a new battery in it is well worth being careful putting the battery lid back on. And most sights I have seen like this have similar battery compartments if it is on the top of the sight. For me, this sight lets me continue to hunt and shoot the way I was taught; safely, accurately, and always in focus. I also never leave reviews so I hope that tells you something too!
