I am partial to my green dots I like the red dots also but my eyes seem to pick up green the best. I took a chance on this gold dot and there is nothing wrong with it it’s just not for me. It doesn’t get super bright but because its gold it doesn’t need to I guess it doesn’t wash out in sun light and you can keep it at max brightness and it doesn’t appear to blur out in darker environments which I guess is a good thing. I’m going to stick with green in the future but it’s not horrible just preference I guess. As far as how it works it does what it says and that’s all that matters. I’m giving it four stars because I think green AND red are better options for me at least.
