I like ghost ring sights but the red dot works better for my eyes, and in more lighting conditions. That's why I went that route.

Also, my preference is for big bore "outdoorsman's" handguns for that very reason. My 5.6" ported M&P45 shoots Buffalo Bore 255s at an honest 1000FPS and will shoot slap thru any hog on the planet. My 629 is all that and + more. I have very little use for a red dot on a handgun... That said, to each their own and opinions vary.
