Red Dot Heaven is an independent buying guide for red dot and green dot sights. We help shooters work out which optic fits their firearm, their mounting footprint and their budget.
What We Publish
- Gun-specific guides – which red dots fit a given pistol, rifle, SMG or shotgun, and what mounting plate or footprint it needs.
- Single-optic reviews – specifications, strengths, weaknesses and a score for each sight.
- Comparisons – two optics side by side, feature by feature.
- Troubleshooting guides – common problems owners report with a sight, and the fixes that work.
How Our Content Is Made
Our guides are research-based. For each optic we collect the manufacturer’s published specifications, current retailer pricing, mounting and footprint data, and feedback from owners in reviews and shooting forums. We then score the optic with a fixed formula, which is explained on our How We Score page.
We do not physically test every sight we write about, and we say so plainly. Where a page describes how a sight behaves in use, that description is drawn from owner reports and manufacturer data.
Who We Are
Red Dot Heaven is run by a small editorial team that has covered red dot sights since 2022. You can reach us at [email protected].
