I have a Millet" on a Ruger Mark II. It has 4 dot sizes and 11 brightness settings, 0 magnification and I love it. I bought it because it was all that was available at the time in my area, (one of the hazards of living in rural Montana) none the less it has done everything that I had hoped it would.
