I have used B Square mounts with excellent success on several different handguns. I've got a 2X Nikon on my 686 and a old 2X7 Redfield on a Anaconda. I prefer the 2X Nikon. Never use anything over 4X with the Redfield. My next hunting hand gun will probably have one of the newer holographic sites, I've shot friends hand guns with them and prefer them over traditional scopes.

Yes, I have used this scope on my Contender for nine or ten years and it has been a good one.
But like someone else mentioned, much above 2X is hard to shoot with unless you are at a bench with a rest.
I have a Redhawk with a 30mm Ultradot and it has been great to shoot with.

A pistol scope will extend your dawn and dusk hunting a little. Those smaller scopes don't let you hunt a lot later like a 40mm rifle scope but surely help.
A Red Dot last just a bit more than open sights but not a lot.
I use both and mainly for the same reason. I can't be accurate with open sights past 30-40 yards anymore.
I shot a doe at a measured 106 yards with a .41 mag Redhawk with a forked stick as a rest using a Red Dot.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a like new Weaver 4x pistol scope, rings and N Frame base that would match your stainless finish. Had it on my 629 Classic. PM me if interested. No scratches, perfect glass...stuck with iron sights in my case.
