A red dot sight is intended for use at close to moderate ranges. Each sight gives you an aimpoint in the form of a illuminated red dot. A red dot sight generally maintains its accuracy, even after it has been used in conjunction with hundreds of ammunition rounds.

I think the slide or bolts jarring on the stops forward and back is whats hard on the scope and more so the mounts rather than recoil actually is. Recoil is one direction and normally somewhat cushioned by the shooter.
The Semi autos are diffrent in that not only is there a recoil impulse but the slide / bolts impact and harmonics also. Set a rifle scope on a spring air cocker airgun and they dont last long do to the piston impulses. On a.22 this isnt as much of an issue as it is on a bigger centerfire pistol. My personal experience has been with Ultra Dots and Aimpoint Micro. The Aimpoint is clearly smaller and more compact. When the micro was first mounted on the 1911, the lens was getting sprayed with powder residue and gun lube as the slide recoiled. A short sunshade was installed on the front and that cut down drastically on the amount of crud getting flung up onto the lens.
It was a nice optic and worked well. The adjustments are designed for a rifle, so when used for a pistol they allow for very fine adjustment. As I said, the Micro is nice and small but costs more.UltraDot is a good sight as well.
It was mounted on a Hammerli 208. It worked well and the only issue that I had was with the mount and not the sight. For a bullseye dedicated gun, the UltraDots are a great value in my opinion. Given their proven track record, it's hard to find any cons in buying/using one.Currently, I have a Hammerli 280 with a UltraDot MatchDot II. I am using the MatchDot II because it is what I had readily available when I got the gun. It works well and has multiple reticles to choose from.
Granted, I only use the basic dot and the other reticles are just fluff that aren't used. I am interested to hear how well UltraDot's new HD-Micro sights work.
Nothing wrong with the ultra-dot, many competitive shooters use them. If you haven't already purchased a red-dot - might look at the Leupold deltapoint - using the very tip of the delta as your aiming point makes it equal to about 1/2 MOA dot. I had the slide milled and the red-dot sits right on top of the slide.
45ACP target and full-on hunting loads haven't bother that sight in several years now - battery change every 8 to 10 months is a PITA compared to others but I much prefer the Leupold to the ultra dot tube type, but I see where they also make a heads-up display as well.I use the Aimpoint Macro with 2MOA on my AR and I think that's as good as it gets - today anyway.I have 2 delta points red dots and have run them on 45ACP, 454, 44 Magnum, 45 Colt and 500 S&W - solid as a rock, but optics on a revolver just look ugly.
