would you recommend a red-dot sight for this pistol. If so which one? Thanks.

A red dot would be ok however the sights are one of the better features of this air gun. It does have a dovetail for mounting other sights however it is a narrower dovetail designed for air gun optics/rings.

I did not mount a red-dot scope on this pistol. I put a standard long eye-relief pistol cross-hair scope (Weaver 1.5X4 power) on the Crosman 2300S. Works very nicely for 2 hand position shooting. Hope this helps. God's blessings to you and yours. Kevin L.

I'm a big fan of red-dots and lasers for any gun. But I bought this pistol to teach my grandchildren how to shoot a pistol using iron sights. Once they learn that, I may put a red-dot on it. This is an accurate gun!!! Shoots a lot better than I do. So I would put a Leopold Delta Point or a Trijicon red-dot on it. Both pricey I know. With no recoil, any red-dot should hold up fine.

No buy the a custom direct from Crossman with the red dot. This one comes with very good (60 buck ) open sights.

I have a 1" Millet with 3 MOA dot on mine, it works great, right size for the pistol and keeps the line of sight close to the bore. Also rings included with the red dot. Millet is a good value for the money.

sorry, I don't have a red dot on my 2300 S. Not familiar enough with red dots to make a recommendation

I can see the .223 holes from 100yds. Anything further becomes difficult for me. It will work with most red dots just get the right mounts.

Yes..need to buy one made for this model. I have one ...found very hard to get red dot set ...so not happy with it. If I had to do it again I would go for optics with good cross hair sights.

Trijicon makes an HD night sight set to fit that gun. You should check with Trijicon to find the correct model number. They are awesome sights.

The TRUGLO red dot looks and works great. I recently mounted it on my new Martin Saber along with the Hind Sight II Sight. This has helped with my left to right ones I've drawn the bow. It has really helped my grouping and makes aiming quick and easy. May work just as well with the peep site.

Mag worked for me - Barrel gets too hot. Be-careful, over tightening can be an issue. Hope this helps! Fine tuning the laser sight can be difficult. The directions are sparse at best.

Hey , Mike ... yea I think all XDs have the same sight installation ... And there lies the rub . They are pressed on at the factory ... you really need a sight removal tool to get them off , and you will probably destroy the old sights in the process. They are TOUGH to get off . The Big Dot sights need a little filing and stone ing to fit , so get some needle files ...but once they are mounted ... THEY ARE GREAT !!! Best sights Ive ever used on a pistol .

I own a Colt M4 carbine and I have the M2 front sight. It's factory and I don't want to mess with it. I have a Trijicon and a Bushnell sight, and ordered the UTG-1" adapter rail because the front sight was too high and the ACOG sight was not working. The 1" seems to do the trick for both sights, but I have not been to the range yet. That will tell the story, but I'm sure the problem was solved with the adapter.

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

this sight is the best buy for the money for sure! I use the red dot, and hardly ever switch between recitals but when I have its held zero just fine. I read that too and was skeptical, but using just the red dot all the time is fine with me, the others seem to take up too much of your target. But great sight, would recommend

I bought it for the red dot which is rail mounted and can go on any rail. The price was right and it works great. Love the red dot. The scope on the other hand is very low end and went on a cheap Airsoft pistol just for looks. But like I said the red dot has its own standard rail mounts and can mount under or on the sides where ever you have a rail . I liked it a lot

No problem with iron sights. I modified to allow easier cleaning. (Then I replaced the whole thing with the Tapco which costs $10 more and couldn't be happier).

I bought mine with the red dot green dot sight. Didn't like took it off and put on a laser

I installed the Tac Sol on my Browning Buck Mark and works like a champ. Get yourself a red dot, can't miss.

It will all depend on your preference since everyone's tastes are different. The red dot will mount pretty flush with your rail so just keep that in mind.

NcStar red dot sight is easily mountable on a picatinny rail (I have mounted my own). The quick release also makes very easy to remove & re-mount.

I witness with the matech and a Troy hk front. I use a red dot on with a hi tug ring on a 1/2" riser and get a lower 1/3 Caithness. Never take my red dot off and have used the irons out to 400 yds. I just turn off the red dot for distance shots. Use this set up in 3 Gun matches. Works well and the MaTech is great. Jack
