By now, we're used to seeing red dot optics on all sizes of semi-automatic pistols. A red dot on a small-frame revolver? Well, that's another story, but let's face it, a wheelgun can benefit from what a red dot brings to the party just as much as semi-automatic, so this new revolver from Taurus (and it's .38 Spl.-only cousin) actually makes quite a lot of sense.
