Open Lens vs Tube Red Dot Sights: Which One Should You Choose?
When comparing open lens vs tube red dot sights, the right choice depends on your firearm setup and environment. Reflex sights excel in speed and visibility, while tube-style sights dominate in durability and versatility. Many shooters use both—reflex for handguns and close-quarters setups, tube red dots for rifles and tactical applications.
HOW TO INSTALL AND USE 45-DEGREE (CANTED) BACK-UP IRON SIGHTS ON YOUR RIFLE
45-degree iron sights are a smart and efficient backup system, especially for shooters who run a magnified optic or expect to transition quickly between sighting methods. A proper install doesn’t take long—but do take the time to zero them and practice until the tilt transition becomes second nature.
Red dot vs. Holographic Sights
Red dot sights use a simple LED to project a red (or green) dot onto a specially coated lens. The dot is reflected back to the shooter’s eye, creating the appearance of the aiming point. This system is known as a reflex sight.
