You will probably need to do some hunting with the gun, to figure out what you like and don't like. I used to have a scoped Super Blackhawk, after a year or two, I removed the scope, it was too bulky for me. I could easily shoot 1/2" groups at 50 yards with it, with the scope, but I decided a revolver was more useful to me without a scope. I scoped my T/C Contenders and never put a scope on a revolver, after that first time. If the bulk is not an issue, they can be very accurate, the range the gun is good for, depends on the shooter.
I have noticed that scoped handguns are really making a comeback. It was big back in the 80s, then faded. I love scoped single shot pistols, but I now prefer revolvers to have open sights. Again my suggestion, is make a decision, then go do some hunting with the gun. After you have hunted with it for a year or so, you will know what works for you.

Yep, but they usually last a long time. But it does happen, and when it does, you have a nice clear open lens to look through, with nothing to reference off of. I have only used them on ARs and 22s, for the two or three years, I used cheap red dots on those guns, I did not really have much of a problem. But with the cheap red dots I was using, once they killed the first battery, they would go through every battery I put in them after that point, very quickly. So that's why I removed, both, from my guns. But I am pretty sure, if you buy, good quality red dots, the batteries dying quickly, after three years probably is not a issue.
