Keep or sell Aimpoint Pro

[hdatontodo]

I had a big store credit at GC in Wh Marsh. Getting an Aimpoint Pro for $435 helped use it.

The question is, since I don't have much time to shoot, should I sell it and put the $ toward ammo or a CC-sized 9? I already have a Bushnell TRS-25 sight.

Thoughts?

Can't help ya as I don't shoot much ... But I would like to get a PRO. If you sell let me know. Or I got ammo to trade, too.

What do you shoot the most? Spend money on something you will actually use is my vote.

I talk my buddy into buying a Aimpoint T1, then it sits in the safe all the time collecting dust, because we shot pistol most the time, rarely touch the rifles. He kept on going backwards thinking he could pick up a 9mm for the money spend.

Bushnell is an ok dot, may not be as abuseable as the aimpoint but it will do the job.

Are you going to be carrying your 9mm? 'cause I'm not seeing a lot of difference between a PRO in the safe and a Glock in the safe, if you catch my drift.

The idea is that I would practice more with a 9 and need something smaller than the SP2022 for when we make more progess in MD with 2A, and CCW is an option. I really wish the M&P Shield 9 were more available.

I did just get 1000 rounds from Glen's for future use after the tasks following the lower-receiver group buy are completed.

I have a PRO as well on my AR. Now while I only use my rifle once a month on average, I don't feel it was a waste. It's nice to have one rock solid optic in case a real need ever arises. I think it's a great optic for occasional use too because of it's crazy battery life. Now would I put an Aimpoint on all my guns? No, not unless I came into some money.

Personal opinion: keep on shooting your SP2022 and keep the PRO. Save your money and buy the CC pistol of your choice when we finally see permanent judicial or legislative relief on the CC front. The SP2022 will do fine for practice in the meantime... the fundamentals don't change from gun to gun.

I have not quite yet becomes an optics snob, but I do think you'll find something to use that PRO on, one way or the other.

Thanks. I could use the Bushnell on the M&P 15-22 and the Aimpoint on the yet-unbuilt AR-15

I vote keep. You have a quality optic, you don't have much time. Selling the optic will net you some cash, but not much in the grand scheme of things. And when you do wind up with more time to actually go shooting, you may find yourself just having to re-purchase an optic all over again.

Or sell the PRO to fund your AR-15 build if you still need AR parts. I'd rather have an AR-15 with irons instead of a PRO and no AR-15. Just ask yourself if you really want the PRO or something else? Go with your gut.

You can ways find a use for a good optic, but if you sell it to buy something a different gun you might not be able to afford a good optic later.

I've got a thousand rounds of Fed AE .223 sitting around plus 50 cash.

I say sell it and get something you want and will use now. You can always repurchase sometime later if you want it back.

That is how it worked out.

After reading earlier advice, I had initially decided to sit on it until after the AR build.

Yesterday, a slightly used M&P Shield 9 was mentioned here. After some horse trading, I gave up the Aimpoint Pro and some $ and got the Shield and 2 items.

I did paperwork today for the transfer.

Thanks to all for advice.

That's a win win as long as you didnt blop out to much coin.

I'd rather have an extra gun then an optic honestly.
