Comes down to $$. If you're hunting deer in a shotgun state you already know 99% of your opportunities are gonna be inside 75yds. Any "quality" reflex will do.
My rule of thumb is that if it's under a hundred bucks it's crap, if it's over a thousand bucks it's Trijicon, and most things in the middle will do alright by you.

Actually its almost the exact other way around! One of the easier ways to improve a rifle or pistol's accuracy is to free float the barrel. Anything exerting pressure or force can throw it off even slightly.
A lot of pistol barrels also move as part of their design, this could lead to issues with functionality in semi autos, and depending on how else the blade is mounted make take down (vital for maintenance) next to impossible.
The one design that would work for, a revolver, presents its own issues, especially when considering heavy use. The potential for the barrel to weaken the blade's back, the aforementioned accuracy issue, making a barrel change next to impossible, as well as the technical bug bear where I'm not sure how I could heat and forge the blade without warping the barrel in the first place... Theoretically I could forge the back edge of the blade with a curve and thickness appropriated that I could actually cut the barrel into the blade it self with a barrel lathe... But I think that would have its own issues as well as being a massive amount of labor. Like all my exotic designs I want to make these saleable on a reasonable scale
Caspian Sea Monster:
I would say you could just forge a blade and bore it out as a Dan Wesson barrel facade and mount it to a Super Redhawk, but I don't want to give the impression that I at all condone this train of thought.

For a red dot I'd go with a Vortex SPARC, or anything from them. Great scopes, I have one on my AR.
