When you look thru the little BSA Red Dot scope it looks like a small red laser dot inside the scope, very easy to line up and see. The dot is adjustable for size and ambient light. You don't have to be close to the scope like a regular crosshair scope on a rifle or pistol. Extend your arm like sighting a normal pistol. You can shoot it from a bench rest and have roughly 3" groupings or freehand and I can shoot a 6" grouping at 20-25 yards. The other cool thing about this gun is it is modular. You can replace the grips, sights, and have different length barrels. Beretta is also supposed to be developing a carbine kit for it to make it a small rifle. I think this gun is based on a Ruger design.
I keep them locked and have the only key just in case I really pizz her off. In todays world I wanted to make sure my wife, daughter, and even my grandaughter know the basics of how to shoot and firearm safety.
