I can get a Holosun 407c for about $200.  Is there a decent $100 option?

I run a cheap bushnell TRS25 on my 22/45 mark3 that I got for $38 on amazon. They are $58 now but it works good for me. There's not much after that until you got to around $150.
primary arms classic series
Bushnell Advanced Micro Reflex Sight
Burris FF3

All of those are around $150 give or take now online.

TRS is big for a handgun but good option.

I have a Gowutar dot on one of my MKIV’s and have been impressed with it so far.  Has features similar to a Holosun like shake awake. Paid a little over $100 for it off Amazon a few months back.  
. Has a Trijicon/Holosun RMR footprint and comes with a picatinny mount.  Also have another one on my PSA Dagger.

Also have a Cyelee CT2 on another MKIV.  I believe I paid under $100 for it.  Nearly identical to the Gowutar but comes with a 3 MOA instead of a 2MOA dot.  They have another model with a 2 MOA dot (Cyelee Wolf0) which I also have on another MKIV for a tad over $100.  I prefer the smaller dot.

Had one on a Buckmark; one of the ones with a full-length rail. It vastly improved my accuracy, made shooting a lot more fun, and was dirt-ass cheap. Didn't look half bad on top of the gun, either.

That said, I'm probably going to put a Holosun on the CP33 once I pick it up.

I tried a used Primary Arms RS-10 that I like.  I now have 2 of them, paid 120 each.

I went with the Sig Romeo 5 for my .22lr.

Usually available around $100.

I have CT2 on my Mkiii with a green dot since December. Works great and is still on the original battery it came with.

Sig Romeo 5 is what you seek. Mine have been great and are NV compatible if that matters.
Good field of view, good battery life, plenty tough for a 22.

Still thought to beat a used or new UltraDot when you can find them. I’ve run several on 1911 slides for thousands of rounds. It’s still the most often seen at Camp Perry on bullseye pistols.

I second that, on the Ultra Dot! I bought really nice Ultra Dot off of eBay the other day. It was an un-used 1989 model. Had the papers, rings, and all of the attachments, even the Allen wrench, all in the original box. That thing is light as a feather!

One I’ve been very happy with is the UTG OP3.  It’s been an excellent little red dot with surprisingly amazing build quality.  They make them in doctor and rmr footprint.  Good brightness and refresh rate at a great price.

Designed for the Ruger max 9 and non adjustable.   Doubt it's as rugged as Holosun or RMR.

I’m putting a 507c on mine just cause I have it. If not I would probably go 407c. Primary arms has a budget red dot too now?

They do.  I considered the Riton for around $130ish and would be fine on a 22lr but Holosun has been good to me, have several.

I have been very pleased with the couple of Swampfox Kingslayer micro dots I have. They are $189 on Swampfox Optics webpage. They are available with a red dot, red circle dot, or green circle dot. Mine are all the green circle dot.

Otherwise watch for sales on the Holosun 407C or Sig Romeo's.

I put my spare Romeo 5 on my MKIV Lite. I love it and so does everyone who has shot it.
A had to put red thread locker on the picitinny rail screws to keep it from coming loose every 10 shots just shooting irons.
Shoots super duper fast and accurate at 30 yard steel even with factory trigger with shitty reset and break. I can shoot 10 rounds on steel target at 30 yards in 4 to 5 seconds.
Two of my shooting buddies are fell in love with it and are each buying themselves a MKIV lite.

I have the Romeo 5 on my blue MK IV 22/45 . I also purchased a Romeo 4S solar. Have not decided whether I will put it on my MKIV tactical or on one of my ARs. I believe I bought those from Sig reconditioned .

The lites are really fun to shoot. I have one with iron sights as well as Ione with the Romeo 5. As I'm 77 trying to transition to red dots :).

It actually was a 4s. and I replaced it with a Romeo 5 and will use the 4s on something else.
