🔍 What Is a Glock Red Dot?
A Glock red dot sight is a reflex-style optic mounted on your Glock pistol slide. It projects a small illuminated dot (typically 2–6 MOA) that allows you to aim faster and more accurately than with traditional iron sights.
✔️ Faster target acquisition
✔️ Improved performance under stress
✔️ Enhanced visibility in low light
✔️ Precise follow-up shots
