1. Trijicon RMR Type 2 Adjustable LED Sight
Another day, another RMR Type 2 suggestion. Ha-ha! I wouldn’t even be mad if you found this a bit annoying. But hey! What can you do? It’s a crazy value sight that retains its performance and resell value even in 2022. It’s one of those evergreen sights.

2. HOLOSUN HS507C X2 Circle Dot Sight
If you are a hunter and find yourself shooting for a long session every day, then this is one of the best red to for hunting. The sole reason is how well this is built and how feature-packed it is. The sight itself is made out of aluminum and it’s pretty light. Overall size of this red dot is pretty small. Perfect for a revolver.
The sight has an illuminated red dot reticle. Its water, fog, and shockproof body makes sure the reticle stays on the place it should. You will need a battery to run this sight properly. But if somehow your battery runs out and you are in the middle of shooting, don’t fret. You can keep using the sight thanks to the solar failsafe.

Ha-ha, at this point you should buy one of these already! The sight is made out of aluminum. The same type of aluminum Burris uses to make their scopes and other accessories. It’s light, small, and perfectly balanced. The housing of the sight is also water, shock, and fogproof.

How to Choose The Best Red Dot For 44 Magnum?
Choosing a sight for your favorite gun is always hard. But it doesn’t have to be hard if you don’t make it hard. What I mean is, that you can make the decision much easier if you keep a couple of things in mind.
Size
As a .44 magnum is used by revolvers, we don’t want to take a sight that is bigger than the gun itself. That’s why, you should take a sight that is not too overwhelming for the gun and most especially, smaller than the rail on the gun.
Weight
Weight is another key part of red dots. Red dots are usually very light. But often they can be heavier than holographic sights as well. Ideally, you would want a lighter sight.
Build Quality
Magnum hits like a truck. It also has a recoil like a truck. Don’t let the size fool you but it packs a good recoil. It would help if you had a well-built sight that won’t fail on you from recoil.
Warranty
Not a lot of reviewers or users put enough credit on this department. Warranty is a key part of a good sight. They are small items and anything can happen to them. Having a warranty backed-up sight is always good.
Summary
Well, that took longer than we anticipated. But our goal was to deliver you the best sight for .44 magnum and I firmly believe we managed to do just that. Sure, there is more than 1 sight on the list, but all of them are good and there is no wrong decision.
Stick to the one that you can afford and matches your needs. That’s all for now, we will be back with more. Take care.
