Reddot scopes question

Question about Reddot sights
I have an inexpensive reddot on a Ruger Airhawk. It works well, but not in bright sunshine on white or light targets, I can't see the reddot. Is this typical of all reddot sights or just the cheap ones? Maybe it's my eyes.
The reason I'm asking, is I'm looking to buy a Matchdot for my Ruger MarkIII target. I don't want to shell out $200 or so dollars on a product I can't use in the sunshine. Can anyone help with this question?

I think you may just need to find a store where you can try one out and see if it works for you. You might also try out different sized dots in the reticle, maybe a larger one would help, like a 5+ MOA (of course that means the dot covers more of the target at long distance).
I just wanted to be sure I'd be able to see a reddot at the range.
Thanks again, Tony
