Red dots on pistols

[Mr. Booshie]

Needed- red dot optic or any opting in a handgun, absolutely not...

Irons are Needed... through training and mastering the irons you can take your abilities to the neck level/ challange.

On a defensive firearm nobody will tell a perp to wait one until I get everything ready to include Turing on said optic... should you be in a defensive posture, more than likely you will point shoot depending on distance with hopefully well aimed fire itemizing a complete sight picture if not itemizing a complete sight picture from the start of engagement.

RDO’s really help with accuracy/ grouping.... keep in mind any given shooter may not be able to hold steady on a target as easy as they can with the RDO... the RDO allows someone a crisper sight pic with a finer sight pic as to where most front combat sights have a wider radius taking up the majority of center mass making it sometimes hard for the shooter to hold center mass.

The shooter needs to master the Irons before progressing to an RDO.

Just my .2

I agree!

Red dots are always on though. There’s nothing to turn on.

I'm thinking about buying a Sig Zero for my Canik SC...co-witness

Look at the Swampfox Sentinel. If you decide you like it, use coupon code "Dailyshooter" for 20% discount.

I got that email today.
Not bad...brings price down close to the Zero and has an aluminum body, not plastic.

I went Trij RMR on my Staccato. Not only did it show me how bad I was on zero with irons, and I always thought I was pretty good, it took me up a couple of notches now that I’ve put quite a bit of lead down range. At my age my eyes don’t pick up the irons like they used too. Set up as co- witness the dot just appears. Needed? No. Love it? Hell yea...

Unless you have something like a Vortex Venom or Viper... I’m sure there are others....

I disagree on needing to master iron before RDO same as telling some they need to master a manual transmission before going into a automatic transmission the two share similar concepts, get rounds on target one just happens to be so much easier, and effective

I’m a fan although I prefer a green dot.

Not for me, ounces equal pounds, all that **** adds up

My gen 4 Glock 19 with red dot, mag well and stainless steel guide rod weighs less than a irons only Glock 19. Break out the scale let’s compare pics.

So let’s compare weight adding parts:

Tall metal sights vs short plastic sights
Magwell vs no magwell
Metal trigger vs plastic trigger
Stainless steel guide rod vs Stock Assembly
Optic vs no optic
Metal mag release vs Plastic mag release
Extended slide release vs OEM slide release

You’d think mine was WAY heavier than a stock one. But when I make a statement I can back it up!

@ChimChim

And another one so you can’t claim parts are removed for the picture.
