SOCOM/Delta/DevGru uses dots on their pistols regularly.

Which is why the Sig was spec’ed with a plate.

If you saw who usually carries a pistol in the DoD, you would agree eletronic sights probably aren’t a purchase priority.

The people who actually use pistols in the DoD however use electronic sights on their pistols.

Yes they can break, but their advantages clearly outweigh their disadvantages at this point.

You are the guy in 1998 arguing that the internet is a fad. It’s pretty pathetic.

Nashville PD have RDSs on their pistols, though I don’t know if they’re a general issue item or private purchase.

Anything can break. I had a front sight shoot loose on a Glock before they changed to the screwed in front sight. Had a 1911 front sight fly off. Had an Aimpoint die. Had an RMR that turns itself off under recoil.

But that's not how these threads go. It's usually someone spouting some ignorant, misinformed crap getting dog piled rather than someone someone who simply says "no thanks, I'm fine with irons".


It's been so done to death at this point I usually just sit back and watch, but I've read most of the red dot threads just for the laughs. Casting the anti-red dot crowd as the victims is disingenuous at best.

Wealthier jurisdictions around the Birmingham metro area have either transitioned to rds or are in the process.  Issue.  Others have authorized private purchase and use.
My agency is in the process, of course at the rate things are going I'll be long retired before the first issue rds glock hits the street.  Plenty of personal purchase on the street already.

Yeah it usually more like , "you can keep your whizzbang doodads, I'm sticking with what actually works..." type posts.

I used to have a lot of uninformed opinions but I can accept I was wrong and move forward.

Anti-Dot'ers post ridiculous and untrue arguments against red dots.

Yup.  I'm not a competition shooter or trainer and I've seen it more than once.  The only Dots I've seen fail are the super cheap ones.


Most front iron sights are held on by tiny Chinese pot metal screws.  Not sure why it's hard to believe they fail.

Steiner MPS.

Check it out at the 2 gun in January. I love it. Battery life isn't the best, but I've carried it on hikes under water, and beat the crap out of it so far. We didn't have much mud out in Vegas, but I'm looking forward to some mud testing out here soon.

The battery life thing is a non issue to me, because it's top mounted battery tray, and the dot blinks for quite a few days before it gets dimmer, indicating the battery is getting low. I leave mine on 24/7 on the second highest setting and have only changed one battery in the almost year that Ive had it. I bought it used, as well, so who knows how old that original battery was, and that last me 7 months.

They still dogpiled on me after asking why this was so important for them to get the last words and be purposely insulting with people that even said a harmless "not for me" and that I am fine with irons for my handguns. Even had some stalk me derping ignorant crap about muh presentationz is craps" despite me telling them that I never had that problem before and without knowing anything about me (projection, he was projecting his own issues into me and after being called on kit, he post stalked me which was super cringe just some of my other stalkers that I no longer see anymore because the ignore is a wonderful feature making my time much more pleasant).

There are obvious trolls that the cult of handgun dots have taken the bait and shitted on, not knowing that they just got outplayed by a dot user, lol.

But to say that it's disingenuous about non dot users crying wolf, is being disingenuous all on it's own. One even admitted that it was an actual agenda of his and why he refuses to accept anyone's answer that isn't an automatic yes. The rest don't have the integrity to admit that either.

And L-O-L at the ones being banned from the handgun forums over red dot arguments by those saying no. getting banned from from tech is pretty telling that the issue is with the banned and not the ones saying no thank you. That's what makes your claim that it's us and not you guys full of it.

It's the new AR vs shotgun fun for GD, and OP is a troll for doing another one when there was an already weakly one that ran it's course.

Not a big fan myself. I have two pistols so equipped (a G40 and PSA-5.7Rock). They are neat but I don’t shoot ANY better with or without the red dot. All they do is add bulk to the gun.

Still, kinda cool looking.

IIRC, they are issued to SWAT and maybe some special units.  Regular patrol officers still have standard Glocks.

Knox County Sheriff’s Office started issuing RDS to some units about a year ago.

Wrong.

Ruger .22’s are pretty awesome. They’re especially awesome when they’re made by Volquartsen.

I just punched by ticket for GM in RFPO with this little dude the other day. It might be my favorite gun to shoot.
