Reflex OR light w/green laser

[Widder, SASS #59054]

my new toy is a SIG P220 in 10mm. I think its called the 'Match Elite'.

 

Anyhow, I want to dress it up with either a good 'on top of the slide' reflex sight with maybe a Leupold Delta Point or attach a good rail attachment light/green laser gizmo like a Veridian unit.

 

Any experience with these?

 

The pistol will mainly be used for some close range Coyote's (day and night) and possibly some close range (under 40 yards) groundhogs.

 

p.s. - I leaning towards the Veridian rail attachment light/green laser gizmo.

I like red as it uses far less battery power and easier to see in daylight.

Crimson Trace is about the best made, and they provide free batteries for life.

For the 220.

I do not care for reflex sights. They seem to catch on everything and working on your gun with one on is a pain.

 

I disagree with Lumpy. Green is much easier to see in the daylight, especially if the sun is out. He does have a point about batteries. A red laser uses less power because there are less electronics using power.

I was taught the human eye naturally picks up green more readily than red. Red is better for night because it doesn't bother your night vision nearly as much. When the Crimson Trace rep was training us, he confirmed both of those things.

 

Seems if you are looking to take down coyotes, then the laser and light might be the better option for night time use.
