Just a quick poll to get an idea of how many use a red dot or green dot on their pistols.

Let's say both cost the same $$$.

Last time I checked. I don’t think they cost the same.

Green dot has the advantage of more daylight visibility compared to red.

Typically is brighter and cost more.
Red is more typical as manufacturers developed red earlier.

You are (mostly) correct on pricing.

But... there are some starting to come down to red & green being equal in price. That's why I asked which one people liked if they were both the same price.

Red usually needs less power making for better battery life, too. I've been hearing about BLUE dots entering play too.

I went green on both of mine as red gets blurry for me at higher brightness.
