Who makes an illuminated 2x pistol scope for nighttime sniping?

I’m not sure if anyone does.
I put a Burris 2X on my Mark III to try on squirrels. Previously I used a RDS on the Mark III.
Here’s my observations:
If I have some sort of a rest the 2X can provide more accuracy out past 15ish yards.
But in the field, the need for a rest, plus the extremely tight eye box on all pistol optics, meant it was a PITA to acquire squirrels at times.
I felt I would rather have a RDS and use my pistol like I always did in the past - for close shots of opportunity. If I wanted to reach out, I much preferred a 10/22 with a decent 2-8 scope set around 4X.
Just my observations, and YMMV.
Here’s my setup, before I went to RDS on the Mark III:
Attached FileI initially had the Burris 2X on the GP-100, but I went to a RDS on it for similar reasons. With a rest, I can shoot with hunting accuracy out to 50ish yards using a RDS. The 2X s pie let’s me shoot smaller .357 groups, but the RDS is so much faster on target acquisition.
