Red dots on pistols

Red dots are a whole lot harder to master than iron sites are. When you’re talking about somebody that does not use a pistol and it’s for breaking purpose is for self-defense, most personnel pick it up in point shoot. I’ve seen a lot and I’ve instructed a lot of personnel with red dot optic’s that have no idea how do use them the stats why they’re coming to a class in order to learn how to use them.

Without the proper fundamentals and repetition having a red dot optic on a firearm is absolutely not helpful until you learn how to apply everything with that optic. You don’t just pick up a firearm put the Dot on the target and squeeze the trigger like a lot of folks think. Presentation presentation presentation presentation, tons of repetition and familiarization is how you get used to and use a red dot optic.

It takes some getting used to..

Most people can use iron sights and can hit at least a man-size target somewhere in the body region. Which in a self-defense situation your probability of incapacitation greatly increases as the perpetrator may not be able to engage after a body shot. Once that body shot is completed and your sites are trained on that Purp you are able to conduct a threat assessment to ensure that he is not gonna be able to harm you and then call 911 or if he’s still a combatant you’re able to finish what you’re doing

OK fellas and Fellers... I’m tapping out...

I agree it is easier to use,it felt like some(not you) were advocating that iron sights had gone the way of the do-do bird since MRDS are now on the scene...really the only reason I spoke up.I love em...I need um...I want more of them...but not as a replacement,only to compliment the ever evolving shooting platform
Agreed a compliment to the evolution of shooting, I will always use both love both.
 
Do brother.. have fun and learn with it... once you zero and understand them they will speed your target to target transition & acquisition up.

nice! I heard the Romeo zero is zeroed from factory. Guess I’ll find out at the range
 
I’m picking up my first red dot pistol today. P365xl with Romeo zero. Pretty excited about it!
Take the time to learn it push through the hurdles, and have it zeored by someone competent, and if your missing shots its you not the red dot as long as its zeroed correctly youll love it, and see the benefits of it!

I've seen no one make mention of irons being done for. A properly setup handgun's irons will cowitness.
 
So I cant speak for the Sig RDS on the p365 My legion with sig romeo didnt come zeroed in at all was way off even at 5 yards like ridiculously off
