I have a Gen 5.

Well yall got me again! I have a gen 3 G20 but I really like the looks, upgrades and accuracy of the gen 5 guns. Been watching GB for a gen5 g20. The prices are going crazy. I finally found a new one for $799 so I snagged it. Of course by the time it got in my hands with fees, taxes, shipping… it was over $900 but I wanted it and they ain’t making it no more.

I’m actually considering a red dot for it but have no idea what. I have not made the jump to red dots yet but thought this might be a good candidate because it will probably be used to take a deer this season, Lord willing. Any recommendations?

I’ve got a Holosun 509T on mine with an OPP titanium mounting plate. I wanted an enclosed optic on the gun since it will be used for woods carry here in Alaska and well it rains, it snows, it can get muddy. I also like the clamping action of the Holosun 509T in and I’m not concerned with plates and screws shearing which can be an issue with the Glock MOS system. The OPP plate is a very tight fit in the MOS system and there is zero gap or back and forth play in it.

Another reason I went with the 509 was talking with a firearms instructor at Anchorage PD. The 509 is the only red dot sight they authorized for carry. They went through an extensive evaluation and beat on a lot of sights and the 509 came out on top. It is a little large and clunky, I definitely would not put it on something smaller like a Glock 19, but it works well on the 20 and I’ve been happy with it.

I know the G20 is the standard in the segment, but I'd look at one of these as well:

My son just bought a S&W M&P 2.0 performance center carry comp. Whew, that’s a mouthful, anyway it’s a really nice pistol. Great ergonomics and the compensator does a pretty good job of taking some snap out of the recoil.
