Some one had written once about a little trick (mod) that had worked for them.
A piece of black electrical tape placed over the dot,(bulb)with a tiny hole in it from a sewing needle.
The smaller the dot higher the $$$$ ☹
You're not kidding. That's the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on one.
The Trijicon RMR is one of the only manufacturers I could find that makes what I would be looking for, but it's a lot of money.
I made a post on the old forum a short time ago about using a cheap red dot with a small dot, ( not a 1 MOA but smaller than a 3 MOA ) on my FWB 65 and loving it. However, I eventually had a traveling dot even after locking the lock screws.
I purchased another that was the same kind but a different name and doing fine with it. I am shooting impressive 10 yard groups ( for me ) and can only imagine how good it would be with a smaller,finer, more precise aiming dot for close range target shooting.
I know I'm being redundant, but I think there's a market for a small dot on these sights for 10 yard pistol shooters. I personally can shoot a LOT better with the red dot on the pistol than I could with a scope and I'm certain I'm not alone. Granted, you young fellas with good eyesight can shoot great with the iron sights but many of us can't and I think a 1 MOA , ( maybe even a 3/4 MOA ) red dot is the answer.
Rambled long enough,just my 2 cents.
There's a Chinese version of the Leupold carbine dot sight for around $50-70 that I've found is quite good so far. It's an extremely fine red/green dot with variable brightness (and looks pretty neat). Haven't really noticed the dot wandering so far with powering on/off and switching intensities/color. The various eBay listings all show it as the same 1 MOA that Leupold advertises, though the box it arrived it had it marked as 2 MOA (still beats any other I've tried so far). Might be work a try for some other folks.
I tried getting a picture of the actual dot through the window, but kept blurring...
