Handgun Scope

I have a Bushnell Trophy 2x6x32 scope. This scope has a very tight field of view - 12.5' @ 100 yds. Even at the lowest power (2X) the magnification is too high for me.

What is a good handgun scope w/ a 1X minimum magnification and a large field of view? It has to handle sustained 44 magnum levels of recoil.

1x dosent really work. It actually looks smaller looking through it.

If you want more field of view you need a scope with a larger tube and objective lens.

Unfortunately with handgun scopes there are not just alot made anymore.

I run Burris scopes currently. Most all mine are 3-12. But they do make a lower power one.

Check Grafs.com for Burris web page for details.

I've read in reviews that there is no true 1 in a 1-4x whatever scope. I recently purchased a Tacticon 1-4x 24 LPVO. At 1 the scope image appears smaller when comparing with both eyes open. Dialing the magnification up to about 1-1/2 seems close to a 1 to 1. This is not a pistol scope or even a scout scope. Just saying...the 1 power is off.
