    I shook one into pieces with the 500 it made about 15 rounds before I had parts flying

    Why not? I have a Simmons pistol scope on my 6? 629. While I shoot only my reloads, every time I get it out, it?s still on zero.
    However, I wouldn?t try any optic on my 3? 629.

    The purpose of a dot is to get really fast sight picture for follow on shots.


    I dont know many 44 mag shooters real concerned about their splits.

    If you think it will help you go from .25 down to .18 knock yourself out.

    I don't know what a SIG Romeo 4S is and I don't even know what a S&W 629 looks like. I think you should buy 3 of each and spray paint them black.

    :)

    After a little skepticism, I am very pleased with the sig Romeo series. I have 3 4s and one 5. Haven?t tried on a heavy recoiling pistol but I?ll wager no problems. And if you do they?ll fix it

    Or, the reason most of the grit eating world would do it, is to hunt with it.

    Who gives a poop about time on a hunting pistol?

    That is pretty much my exact point- other than being a novelty on a hunting pistol it isn?t really bringing anything to the table except some very small electronic components, a battery, glass, and a little extra weight.

    If finding the front sight is the problem a $50 pair of prescription safety glasses can fix that.
