Just installed a Walther Multi Reticle System Red Dot sight on my 2240.  Haven't zeroed it yet, but one of the 4 reticles is a small, pinpoint of a dot, much smaller than either my Tasco or BSA red dots.  Going to have to experiment with the different reticles. RC

Good choice, RC. I have a Walther on one of my pistols. After you toy with the four reticules, you will probably leave it on the smallest one all the time. There is a bit of parallax with the sight, particularly at shorter diatances, so figure out a comfortable position for the dot and sight in there. Try head bobbing up/down and left/right to narrow in on your favored position.

Thanks for the heads up; I'll be sure to check parallax.  Just came up from adjusting the zero @ 5m, so far I like it.  I did play with the reticles, and will probably settle with the little dot.  One of the others may be better for distance shooting since it doesn't sit over the aim point.  Seems a high quality sight RC

Nice RC I like the looks of that red dot I was told they are real good. Might have to try one some day.

For bullseyes, especially ones that are mostly all dark with white rings separators, I've found the crosshair with the dot work better. The crosshairs help you center the tiny dot in a much larger circle.  But for plinking and silhouette shooting the single dot is much better.

That looks really good RC! I love the sight on her and the color of the grips too. Low profile dovetail to weaver adapters I think would look real nice too  :)

I have found that 'T' reticle with the little dot to be deadly accurate.  Because of my vision, I'm still experiencing some flare with the dots, big and small.  Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality of these sights.  I'm going to try it on a rifle to see how I do. RC

Thanks, Ern.  I've been thinking of painting the checkering part of the grips a wild yellow. RC
