Yes, it's the size of the dot as projected on the optical. The smaller the dot, the more precision it allows, but the harder it is to pick up in the sight picture. What are you considering?Regarding MOA in Red Dot descriptions. Is the MOA referring to the actual size of the Red Dot in the optical? Smaller size 2.0 MOA would be pricey but more accurate at distance versus a 7.0 moa? Thanks.
Still looking around but earlier today I was looking at C-More's Website and looking at their STS2 Red Dot which is offered in 3.0 moa.Yes, it's the size of the dot as projected on the optical.

That's a good compromise. As long as the dot is smaller than the target it can be consistently and accuracy centered. When fast dot acquisition is desired just turn up the brightness a click or two.Still looking around but earlier today I was looking at C-More's Website and looking at their STS2 Red Dot which is offered in 3.0 moa.
I have a DeltaPoint 7.5 MOA on my Glock 17, and a Trijicon 6 MOA dot on my Glock 21. A perfect RMR would have the DeltaPoint's aperture, glass and triangle with the Trijicon's adjustment knobs and battery life.There are some nice pyramid reticles as well. The full pyramid is for CQB, the top "tip" is for precision.
I use a 7.5 MOA on the Victory.Oh, and you can be pretty darn accurate with a 7 MOA red dot. I didn't mean to give the wrong impression.
It will cover a 6" target, but a 10" target you can center the dot up in it.
I think that size is perfect for pistols you want to shoot fast. I may get a red dot for my 22/45 Lite and that's around the MOA I would get.I use a 7.5 MOA on the Victory.
Superimposes 7.5" at 100 yds. At 12 yrds, the dot covers about 70% of my 4.5" round plates used for the airgun [ or about 3" ]. I'll be using it this Sunday in the 22 match where some of the disks are 3-4" and everything else is bigger. Quicker/faster to pick it up, and I've set it up to use like a regular dot centered on what I want to hit, instead of using the tip of the chevron.
