Eotech vs Aimpoint is an ongoing raging debate in the top-quality RDS category. I have both. I prefer the Eotech reticle, but generally speaking, the Aimpoints are considered to be more rugged, and their 3-5 year battery life vs Eotech's 600 hour battery life might be a significant convenience for some people.

The Eotech inline battery series tends to be problematic with failure of battery contacts a known issue. Better IMHO is the XPS/EXPS series where a CR123 lithium is mounted transversely. I think the Eotech OPMOD sold by Optics Planet is an outstanding bargain at $495 if you don't need compatibility with night vision equipment. I've had one on my SBR for thousands of rounds without a hiccup. I just recently put an Aimpoint PRO on my Light Recce. I haven't shot it much, but it's a nice optic and at $400 it's an excellent bargain. Problem with that optic is that it's only available to law enforcement or military.

Virtually all of the RDS co-witness with the iron sights. The preference comes into play as to where you want them to co-witness -- either in the center of the optic, or in the lower 1/3. Personally, I prefer co-witnessing in the lower 1/3 and use a 7mm riser on all my Eotechs. The PRO with stock mount co-witnesses somewhere between the middle and the lower 1/3 and I haven't had an issue with that, what little I've used it. The Eotech EXPS series (including the OPMOD) includes the 7mm riser, so all of them co-witness in the lower 1/3 out of the box. The riser is removable for those who prefer co-witnessing in the center.

SKD Tactical. You can scan and email your credentials to them. They're out of stock ATM, however. I think I got the last one from them 10 days ago.

Hey guys!

Here is a pic of one like mine... Its a Ruger P95, with a laser pointer, and about 300+ bullets plus 30 for personal defense. I took it once to a shooting range with a friend and fired like 600 bullets but haven't used it since.

After I bought it, I realized that I couldn't conceal it, so I will need to buy another 9mm with a smaller factor.

I also want to buy a .22 to keep at home for market-crash type scenarios.

I'd get a subcompact glock 26 (9mm) or the 27 (.40mm) if you wanna conceal it.. I have both, very easy to conceal.

awesome, thanks for the tip!

Eventually, I also need a .22 with lots of rounds. A friend of mine made these recommendations (knowing I am on a budget) a Ruger 10/22 or a Marlin model 60.

But... holding off purchases for a while

Just know this, if you do go with a .22 caliber weapon, that caliber weapon does not have any knockdown power, so if you're using it for personal protection, or home protection, its not really gonna do any good to the would be intruder or robber. Especially for some intruder high on drugs. Even a 9mm, you'd still be lacking knockdown power. Once you start looking at .40mm, .45mm, or .357 then you're doing some REAL damage and achieving knock down power.

Just a thought. Something to keep in mind.

eRep eh??

I don't think he'd be using the .22 for anti-personnel, but for a general survival type rifle... small game hunting... that type of stuff.

The 10/22 has a great reputation and a long history. It's very mod friendly and obviously cheap to operate, as bulk .22lr is effing cheap!

I don't have one (yet).

I think a .22 would have more knockdown power than your .40mm and .45mm weapons combined
