Continuing on the theme of .22 caliber equivalents of carry/duty pistols for plinking and cheap practice to build high reps at low costs, I bought at SIG P322 with a red dot sight to "learn" how to shoot pistol red dots.

First observations is that red dots on pistols are great. I had a much better experience than with the Glock/Holosun combo a while back. But the SIG Romeo Zero Elite red dot sucks. Issue #1 is the red dot brightness spontaneously changing when firing (see photos). The button is also terribly placed, too small, and too hard to activate. Right size housing, crappy everything else. I get the feeling it'll fail early and need to be replaced with something else.

Other than that, I'm impressed with the pistol itself. Will probably replace the Glock 44 for plinking, though the Glock and its iron sights will be the preferred practice tool, since I don't carry a red dot for self-defense.

Can it hold up like other see-through polymer mags? Lancer, for example? The feed lips on this one are all plastic. If so, looks promising.
