Considering using the Blackhawk for mulie hunting, just ordered the Weaver mount but am undecided about Dot or Scope. Hunt deep timber, range 50 to 100yds max. Any ideas from you handgun hunters? It is the convertable .45/.45acp.

I've found the reflex sights are harder to find the dot quickly, compared to a tube style.

The reflex sights, except for the EOTech, are a little delicate & prone to breakage.
The tube sights seem to present a cleaner image of the dot if you have older eyes.
Having tried both, I greatly prefer the tube style sights. My favorite is the Burris Speeddot 135.
