Anyone here has experience with this (or similar) red dot (4 MOA) sight mounted on a Glock 17 or similar size..I am nearsighted, cross dominant and have correction glasses with bifocals (I am getting old ) and like to find something that can improve the aiming. Front sight fuzzy and target is clear..Thanks

I don't know much about red dots (only have one) but unless it's a high end model, there can be significant parallax error when sighting a target. With the gun held steady, you can move your eye position and the POI changes.

The parallax error is indeed something to watch for.. I did some more reading on the subject and got also interested in the STS Red Dot sight from C-More, this seems to be better for a bit more $$...and I might look into the 7 MOA for my G 17..

I have found some other links with a lot of info on the subject..
It seems that MOA7/8 is the best for a Glock... The Trijicon RMR seems to be the favorite and is also the most expensive..

Here are a few links of interest
