If you're really going to dedicate yourself to learning to efficiently shoot an RDS on a pistol, get the 3 moa. Once you get a consistent presentation, you'll have no problem finding the dot. If you're just dabbling, a 6 moa dot is marginally easier to find.
I'm not the OP, but I have some Saiga conversion experience. I did a 7.62x39 and a Saiga 12, both of which I still have and shoot. I'd rate the difficulty at 3-5, depending on how far you go with the conversion and your skill level with tools in general...
I think you'll find that as you get more comfortable with RDS's on pistols you'll not need a large(r) dot. My RMR has a 6.5moa dot and I think I could easily get by with a smaller dot now.
My experience with pistols and MRDS
Here's where I'm coming from: I'm 56 and have been very nearsighted all my life. I now wear progressive lens glasses. I've taken John McPhee's pistol classes 5 times and his carbine class twice.
My first experience with a MRDS was at an NFA Day (thanks again...
