Red dot sights are a fantastic addition to any gun. Not only can they speed up target acquisition and facilitate a clear sight picture, but they’re convenient and relatively easy to adapt to using. Of course, not everyone wants a dot that’s red, so what do you do if you want green, or hope to switch back and forth? You check out a red dot sight like the Konus Nuclear QR 1×22, which offers red or green at the flip of a switch.
