Are there any red dot scope options for a 50 cal handgun (510 GNR)?  Or should I go with a conventional pistol scope?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trijicon RMR, great site, if your eyes are close to good.

Welcome to Optics Talk. 

I'd look at an Aimpoint Micro.

Speed. Same reason for having one on a long gun. You just have to line up the dot to the target, not two sights to the target.
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

I use a burris fastfire II on my Ruger Mk II.  Let's me co-witness with the front sight post, and it's fast.
