Different sight pattern styles on pistol red dot sights

Does anyone make a red dot sight for a handgun that has a sight pattern that is like the EO Tech the dot in the circle style?

Also is it non Chinese manufactured?

Doesn't Sig make some of the red dots stateside? I think the Romeo 4T.

Supersetca on youtube does a review of pistol red dots and they said the holosun ring with center dot was a nice feature but ultimately they turned it off because it was too busy for such a small window. Id have to agree.

The beauty of a red dot is the simplicity of the sight window and the easy transition from one target to the next.

Can I ask why it's important to you and how much you have used dots on pistols? It really is fast and simple if you just look for the dot/dot on target. If you are chasing the sight and co-witness it's best just to leave them off. That was a real problem for me back in the day, until I took off my back-ups and just went with the sight. Once I got used to it, WOW what a difference.

I was among the first to put a red dot on a carry pistol, I have a receipt for a Dr. Optic sold to me in early 2001. I carried it on a Glock 34. That Dr. Optic by the way is still going strong on my son's Glock 17. It was that pistol that I showed a person who later became Mr. red dot of the internet.

I have a friend that is now wanting to put a red dot on his CZ. He has an EO tech on his AR and wanted the same sight pattern on his pistol. I tried to talk him out of it, but after he failed to transition using a RMR, he thinks this dot in a big circle will help him.

I started with no back up Irons, then went with back up irons and now have only a front sight on my CZ's with RMR. This allows the RMR to sit as far back to the rear on the pistol. I use the front sight and window of the RMR like a big ghost ring.
