Red dots on pistols

An RDS is Absolutely NOT a fail safe.... there’s no argument that anyone could present that would make any sense.... At all....

I didnt say RDS being a failsafe, which implies replacement for irons.

I was referring to proper maintenance and service to ensure it’s not going to fail. Like you stated about irons.

I didn’t see any feisty attitude. You have been a good person to chat with so far. It’s been an enjoyable chat the whole way though.
 
I personally think having both front and rear irons makes the transition to “Dot sighting” easier. When the irons are utilized the “dot” appears if set up correctly. Without the rear i would think it would be harder to train?? As usual...my 02
So if im understanding correctly you use your irons to find the red dot then, if so that defeats the purpose of having a red dot, similar to you wouldn't line up your irons on your rifle first before finding the red dot on your rifle same principles train your presentation so your red dot finds your eye not the other way around you want it to work for you right off the bat on your presentation not try to find ways around it so youll see it

I probably didn’t explain myself correctly.
You are absolutely correct. When originally installed the dot was hard for me to locate because i was only looking for the dot. After a few days of pulling and sighting enough times in dry fire mode the dot to eye became automatic but my irons help me locate the dot in the beginning.

It does take some getting used to... once you overcome the training aspect.... they will enhance abilities.

A lot of folks think that if you throw on a RDO, it give you an ability and that’s far from realistic....

Great job working through the training aspect and becoming accustomed to it.

Got you well thats good to hear glad your proficient with it now
 
I have just been thinking about Red Dots but have not pulled the trigger so to speak. Maybe one day and I will get one milled. My eyes are old so I have bought XS Big Dots for all my carry pistols. Fast and easy to acquire. Accurate too.

Bruh... I love XS BDS... all of mine on my G’s are suppressor height... the one I have on my 320 is WC and is suppressor height with a small break... fun shooter....

XS in my opinion are the easiest to train on and acquire ... easypeezy......

Where you located? If close by to 31807 I’d let you shoot mine to see why you think... ( you supply your own ammo of course)
