Sorry, but i dont understand all the restrictions about red dots for my new Taurus TX 22 Compact, so I am looking for advice on one to get. Believe its the newest version, just purchased last week. Dont wish to spend a lot, but cant seem to find a fiber optic front site for it (has a nut on bottom; not an allen screw to remove front site). Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Just a simple one, please, nothing too fancy or expensive. Thanks so much (wish I knew more).
Can u suggest a beginner red dot for my new Taurus TX 22 Compact?

I believe it uses the RMSC footprint…lots of options.
While there are cheaper…I’d look at a Vortex Defender CCW. It’s a quality unit, where a lot of the cheaper stuff…isn’t.
I run a Defender on my FN502 .22, and it’s a great optic.
I’d also consider a Sig Romeo Zero.
And I believe your front sight is a Glock-pattern front sight…so anything that’ll work on a Glock (there are legion) will work for you.

......I installed a set of these on a full size TX 22LR (I have since sold that firearm)
These were very nice - height should work with the dot -

They do have just a fiber optic front sight available as well - however, I believe it is too low to use with the dot.

Hard to beat the Holosun K series optics

Only reason I didn’t mention them was price; I think a Vortex Defender will do just as well for $50-100 less…
But it’s definitely a great optic; I put a 507 on my Prodigy and love it.
Completely agree with this assessment.

I have had good luck with a budget Red Dot from ADE (Ade Advanced Optics) on 10mm and 22Mag. https://adeoptics.co
Click on Handgun red dots. and look for RMs/RMSC

Have a Holosun HE407C-GR on mine.

I’m looking into them. I know it’s probably made in China, like the Holosuns, but unlike Holosun, Vortex is a US company, not a Chinese company.

I thought Holosuns were made in Japan.
