what kind of experience?? the doctor sights work will, burris is an improvement, has an on and off switch. . difficult in holster carry. best are C more, but has a rheostat on and off -- good for IPSC but not for carry.  All share the characteristic of heads up shooting with a larger "panorama" in the screen, but this is definitely a negative in the "carry" gun area- this applys to pistol
when used on long gun, they are almost too small, when compared to a dot designed for a rifle like an aimpoint, or a good 1x4 with an illuminated recticle. typically illuminated reticles are used in low light conditions, but if your trained on a dot suchas a C more on a pistol-- using the illuminated reticle in daylight is even better.

Being trained on the dot is the key words as Dale said. After putting one an a MK III Ruger for a short time I was uncomfortable with the time it took me to aquire the dot to be able to aim. If more time was spent on practice surely I could have aquired more speed but  decided to go back to Iron Sights. I'm getting older and it takes longer to pick up the newer skills.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

3_tens,
 
I was wondering what to put on my Ruger MKIII.  I have a Bush 2-6x32 Firefly 3200 and figured it may be a bit heavy to carry.
 
Also wondered about fiber optic front sights.  Are they worth the cost?
