Looking for a pistol scope to go on a 41 mag. Wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for one.

Pistol scopes?

I had a Nikon pistol scope...100rds of 44 mag...broke, wouldn't hold a zero. My 2 cents
First thing to ask yourself is if you really want one. Every time I've put a scope on a hunting handgun I've regretted it.
For me, I want a hunting handgun to be reasonably light and handy. That ends the moment you put a scope on it.

With my eyesight being slightly worse now I would be able to see better with a scope I think. Iron sights we a little fuzzier to me now. I will be shooting a single shot 6.5 creedmore.
With that kind of pistol you are already kind of giving up the "handy" part of handguns, so a scope isn't going to make that much difference. On revolvers they make a huge difference.
Do you wear glasses? I wear progressives and can tilt my head back a little to find the focus point for my front sight. This works for handguns, but not on rifles because you just can't move your head like that with a shouldered long gun.
I do wear glasses since I turned 50...lol. This pistol has no irons that is another reason I am asking for input for a scope
I have a Burris 2x20 pistol scope on a 44 mag revolver, it has been holding zero no problem! Fixed power scopes are usually tougher than variable power. Will I ever put a scope on a pistol/revolver again? I don't think so!
Ha worries about hi jacking.
I just want to hunt with a pistol this year. I understand I’ll be giving up good qualities of the pistol but frankly I just want to be able to shoot a little farther with it.
