I think two really good options would be the Vortex Strikefire ($150), but a different style is the Burris Fastfire II on the AR-F3 mount ($290).

Yes, the Vortex Strikefire is a good choice, but IMO a better choice would be the Vortex Sparc. Because of it's size, there is enough room to mount a 2x or 3x magnifying behind it. The Strikefire is just a bit too long for a magnifier.

ive got a vortex strikefire red/green and a vortex sparc. both of them hold zero through the pounding my 458 socom can dish out. excellent optics for a sub 200$ price. ~150$ will get you a red/green dot strikefire with mount and lens covers and 2x doubler. ~189$ will get you a red dot only sparc which is very small with three different mount height options and 2x doubler. the strikefire is a 4moa dot the sparc is a 2moa dot.
vortex has a no questions no bs lifetime warranty regardless of how many owners. if it breaks send it back they will fix it or replace it. vortex is a wisconsin optics company but their dot scopes are made over seas but they are vortex designs and they do support their products.
here is a size comparison the sparc is the one not attached to my M&P

I'm a big fan of Aimpoint micros (purchased my 3rd tonight). I also like the small EoTechs like the XPS and the newer model. Third would be the Primary Arms micro. The PA runs around $100 or $178 w/ ADM mount (great mount).
