Just wanted to know what the general preference is. I am going to change the factory sights on my Mossberg 535 and am very intrigued my a red dot. Specifically the Bushnell TRS 25 and the TruGlo TruBrite. So what do most of you guys use, open sights or red dot? Thanks
I have one shotgun with FO open sights, one with a scope and three with red dots. IMO you can't beat a red dot.
Love the red dots, I have a ff3 on my 20 gauge 11-87, trs-25 on my daughters 20, sightron on my 20 gauge 870, and Bushnell red/green dot on my 12 gauge 11-87. I like the ff3 the best and the trs-25 is a close 2nd.
I prefer a red dot myself.

I like the fiber optic rifle sights. Had a bad experience with a battery in a red dot cost my little girl a turkey. It was my fault but after that no more batteries on my turkey guns.
I put fiber optics on this year and I did get a turkey with no problem. However I'm now having a hard time with them as I pursue my second one. Maybe my astigmatism I'm not sure but they are quite blurry to me. I'm thinking a red dot next year
Not sure if a red dot will help with an astigmatism. I think surgery or corrective lenses can fix that.

I like the red dot fastfire 3, gets 10,000 hours battery life, lifetime warranty, low battery indicator, adjust your dot to how you like it, water proof, put a modified choke in your turkey gun and you can use it on numerous other small game with 2 3/4 inch shells.
Red dot.....

Well I wear contacts that correct for it but I'm struggling with seeing the target plus the front and rear sights...I was thinking a red dot would be better. May be my contact is just konking out on me though. However yesterday I zeroed my AR with a new red dot optic and worked like a charm. Again...probably my aging eyes but I'm thinking a red dot better than lining up three things for me right now.
Gotcha. The red dot is very simple. I hear you on lining the dots up.
