I like these two scopes for my pistols. The Leupold is a 3X9 with fine duplex reticle. I use it for shooting off of bags, like a mini rifle. It’s really fun, but if you want to shoot at arm’s length then the other scope is a great choice. The picture isn’t good, but you can see how it looks. And the PAO is a fantastic little scope for around $100, the Leupold is three times more expensive and is a rifle scope. The POA is a 2-8 variable power and it is very clear although it’s hard to hold still at the higher powers. Hope this info helps!
