    Modern micro red dots are mounted to the slide. And are designed to withstand the g forces from the slide cycling. They will hold zero for thousands of rounds.

    The sight pictured here certainly would not be able to do that. But that’s what 40+ years of development in optics and materials will do.

        I second that answer. Pistol red dots for serious use like self defense or in a military have only become accepted by most people in the past 10 years.
