I tend to forget that the second dot is there until I need it. It does work. Eotechs pair pretty well with a magnifier. My 2 dot is on a PCC right now; I should probably get on Strelok.

To elaborate in this, the second dot is usually at its best at ~10-25m. It works well for most of the middle of a 25yd CQB/indoor square range on a 25yd zero (3-4yd to 20yd headshots), and 3yd-26yd (5-27yd with a riser) headshots with a 50m zero. On a 25m zero, the primary dot becomes better than the second past 15yds, and with a 50m zero, that point is around 25m.
The ranges it works for is unsurprisingly narrower on the PCC with 25yd zero than the 5.56 with 200yd zero. A riser slightly narrows and extends the ranges where the second dot is appropriate for CQM headshots, by about a meter, inconsequential in the real world. As you can see above, zeroing closer shortens the range where it is appropriate for aforementioned headshots. I’m using a hypothetical 4” circle for this standard, btw.
If you use a two-dot EoTech on a PCC in IDPA/USPSA pistol matches, the second dot should be used for all but the closest and furthest targets. Expand the target diameter to 8”, and it can be used from 0-30yds on a 25m zero, much further for a 50yd zero.
That bottom hash on the the circle is of course your 5m POA.
