Help me put a reflex sight on a 9mm carbine

Yes, not sexy but wife can shoot it and go boom, boom, boom.

Prices up to 500.

Do I need to spend 500?

Don’t think you need to spend that much but if you do, just get an Eotec. Otherwise Sig Sauer, Vortex, Burris and a few others are all solid choices. I put a Sig Sauer Romeo5 red dot on an AR and it works great, though it’s not a reflex.

I'm a big fan of the Aimpoint PRO. Under $500 and can be found on sale for under $400 pretty regularly. Hard to beat for the price.

Trijicon RMR's have been on sale for around $400

There are some really good higher end options already mentioned. For a budget friendly option the Bushnell TRS-25 is pretty good. Can be had for under $100.

Thanks, guys. I do get a little confused on the reflex/red dot/hologram designations and marketing. Like the idea of the small, low profile versions - reliability & waterproof tops looks.

Had looked at the Sig Romeo 5, Burris versions, and Meopta's version.

I have a Bushnell red dot that is 20 +/- yrs old and it still works great. Hoping for something that'll shoot a little better w both eyes open.

Which 9mm carbine?

For small low profile, I installed a Vortex Venom on my Ruger PCC.

Very nice! Thanks.

Same gun except I went with the old look.

Nephew talked me into Romeo5.

Waiting on everything, carbine, ammo, magazines, scope...

Holosun are damn rugged and feature packed for their price point. I’ve run them through 2,000 round carbine course zero issues. It’s what I tell guys to get when they can’t afford a Trijicon, Leupold or AIMPOINT. EOTECH is not in the same league. Their battery life is terrible, the ones I used while Active drew power even when off and always seemed to die right when needed. Also in sub zero temps I saw at least three that had huge impact shifts (talking feet at 25 meters)
