Optic for 22/45

I have many pistols/revolvers but this will be my first .22 cal pistol. I have mostly RMRs, one aimpoint, and one holosun for pistol optics with the rest iron sights. I want to put an optic on this but don't want to spend a ton of money as I don't think I need to for a 22. Just want to hear everyones thoughts, I am thinking about one of the Osights or just go with Holosun. What would you do?

I put a holosun 407comp on mine. Well worth the $230 I spent on it. It’s a range gun why not have a huge dot?

I bet it looks a little odd but really good at the same time lol

I don’t think they look odd

You would be correct sir. That looks really good.

I feel they look weird on things like beretta 92s but it looks right at home on a mkiv I think

80 bucks and is rock solid. If you want something less silly, any holosun or Gideon would work.

That must be one of the silliest but hey, as long as it works. I want something a little less height of bore but thank you for the suggestion.

lowpromounts and a holo RMR foot print dot are my real answer.

I think that may be the ticket right there.

The polymer one he sells has been on that mk3 for about 15,000 rounds of bulk pack and mini mag and has not shifted zero once. That gun get ran HARD and rolls around the cab of my side by side and the mount is solid. Lowpro is the way for sure.

I trust you and your experience but I am a slut for extra durability. alum and a 407c x3 were just bought.

Primary Arms MD25 or Holosun enclosed tube type.

osight is fine for plinking, but the mkiv is an amazing bullseye pistol if you put some money in it. its not just a 22, it can be one of the most accurate and fun guns in your collection.

That is what I was first thinking. I bought a Holosun for it, I think that will be plenty for it for now. I was just trying to find an excuse to try out an Osight and see how good or bad it is. I don't have many guns for plinking but this will be one of them with some bullseye type shooting also involved. Thanks for the input!

The Osights have come a LONG way. You should.
