There is plenty of HV available in LRN- Blazer, Fed 510 and Fed Automatch for starters. But if it's a bother to re-zero the red dot if you remove it for the plates, or you just want to get another gun, well, those are reasons enough. I've been happy with my Buckmark, and I would recommend it and HiViz or fiber optic sights on whatever you get.
I would just use my current bulls eye gun but they will penalize 1 plate for a red dot. Not to mention that I want the practice using open sites.
I knew the MKIII was hard to reassemble, but I'm surprised to hear it is that finicky on ammo. I've thought about picking one up if the right deal came along, but I'll think twice now. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and have fun with the plates.
