What does anybody know about the trijicon red dot sight?

I see they are available in 4 MOA and 8 MOA. Does this mean that at 100 yards the dot is 4" in diameter on the 4 MOA and 8" in diameter on the 8 MOA?

Thanks for any help

I used to be a Supervisor in the Trijicon ACOG Department. Without getting into all the MOA mumbo jumbo...The difference between the two is simply size of the dot. The smaller 4 MOA dot is better for longer shots (so the dot doesn't cover the target). The larger 8 MOA dot is better for shorter shots (because the bigger red dot is easier to pick up for fast shots).

I would say the "break point" where you would want to go from 8 MOA to 4 MOA is around 100 meters. If you're using it for a handgun I would definitely go 8 MOA. With a rifle it could be 4 MOA or 8 MOA depending on the range you want to shoot at.

In general, the Trijicon's are great (quality and value). I've not used the red dot in particular, but the Accupoints are superb.

I ended up getting the 8 MOA red dot trijicon and installed it on my S&W model 629 44 mag with the 5 inch barrel. I had to order an extra shim to get it to sight in. I love it, small, lightweight and I can honestly think about taking a whitetail at 50 yards, something I wouldn't have tried with just the iron sights.
It was a great addition to my revolver.

Thanks
