The human eye sees green light about six times more easily than it does red. That’s why you’re seeing so many sight makers now turning out green dots. As someone who’s used both, I definitely prefer green to red, especially in daylight.
Green dots are slightly more expensive to make than red dots, but that gap is narrowing. Case in point – Viridian’s new RFX11 reflex sight that shipping now. With an RMSc footprint and an MSRP of $189, it’s going to be a popular choice as a handgun sight.
Here’s their press release . . .
