I'm going to pick up a Glock 20. I'm kicking around the idea of putting a red dot on it. There are some things about the red dot that I think would be great, but other things that worry me a little. I would definitely have tritium backup sights, no matter what. My biggest fear with the red dot is that the glass will get frosted up when it's 10 below with the wind chill. Last year I had my rifle sitting on the ground on the bipod when I was glassing and it was getting a coating of frost on it. The red dot would be more protected on my side in the holster, but it's still concerning. Anyone have any experiences with this?
I'm also wondering how the red dot battery would hold up in these temperatures. This is less of a concern, because if the dot goes out I will just use the tritium sights. Nevertheless, I'm curious. Experiences?
If I were to get the slide milled, does anybody make a metal piece to fill in the milled area on the slide if I were to take the red dot off when winter hits?
Thanks!
