Best 44 Magnum Revolver Red Dot Sights

Trijicon RMR Type 2

The Trijicon RMR is the gold standard for micro pistol reflex sights. Still to this day, this optic is the go-to for handgun, rifle, and shotgun usage.

The newly added feature, the battery compartment now has a better grip on the battery to prevent it from getting loose causing the dot to go out.

The optic is lightweight and has robust mounting points to go on the 44 Magnum.

3 MOA sizes - The 3.25 MOA model has the best dot size that is easy to pick up to shooting.

Holosun 507C

The Holosun 507C is a great Trijicon RMR alternative. It uses the same Trijicon RMR footprint to mount on the 44 revolver using existing RMR mount.

Multiple Reticle System - The user can cycle through:

• 2 MOA Center dot
• 32 MOA circle
• 32 MOA circle + 2 MOA Dot
