If it's a red dot, I would like something cheap and affordable. There really is nothing special about a plain old red dot regardless of what company made it. It's just something for quick target acquisition. A scope, I would like it to be adjustable.

Adjustable meant that you could use the optics up a 4x setting, but dial down the magnification for close in shooting.

cool i thought they were fixed only. I see a lot of backup red dots because of this.

Yeah, a lot of guys do that. Becuase it is sort of hard to adjuct it in the middle of a firefight.

I would always set mine for whatever we were most likely to bhe doing that day and leave it be.

The ways the reticle is set up, if you understand bullet drop/zero, you can make it work for you in close combat.

Sold my Loaded, got this. Well I won the auction this afternoon. There weren't any USPs going for a good price. Got this much cheaper anyway.

Looks to be in great condition, but I have to ask, is the gun marked =JERICHO 941= or DESERT EAGLE PISTOL?

That's the only pic I got of it. Unfortunately I can already see it having Desert Eagle Pistol on it, since it's a Magnum Research import. (WTF were they were thinking calling it the Baby Eagle) It was listed as old stock, looks unfired, looks new. I wanted an older one. There were some actual Jericho 941 marked ones on GB, but they were well used (Century Import marked too). They were going for about the same price as this one. But this one is in FL, so I got to pay sales tax too
