According to UPS, I will receive my GK1 tomorrow
! Although I don’t have it yet, I decided to research some optics options and ended up purchasing some. My original plan was to get just a red dot sight. I went with one that is rail mounted and not one that would need a mount to attach at the rear of the pistol just because I didn’t want to have to buy the mount and because they have a little bit of a smaller window. This is the sight that I ended up buying:
VOTATU RMD502 Multiple Reticle Red Dot Sight When it arrived, I took it out of the package, turned it on, and looked through it. It looked bad—so bad, in fact, that I initiated a return through Amazon. After doing so, I did some research and, long story short, I ended up cancelling the return when I learned about the effect of astigmatism on red dots. After doing some more research, I decided to buy a magnifier because many people with astigmatism had stated that a magnifier rectified their blurry red dot problem completely. This is the magnifier I bought:
VOTAVOTATU RMD502 Multiple Reticle Red Dot SightTU M3X Red Dot Magnifier
I purchased this magnifier, first and foremost, because it has very positive reviews for its price; and secondly, because it is from the same company as the red dot, and I just like things to go together. When the magnifier arrived, I immediately checked the red dot through it and it was perfectly crisp. This is a screenshot of a manufacturer’s video from Amazon that allayed any fears I had of the magnifier not lining up with my red dot:

If anyone has experience with these products, please share your experience and opinion of them. As always, any helpful comments or feedback is greatly appreciated
