Quote HistoryQuoted: I have no handguns with RD. Not that I am against them. I just do not want to mill any of my current handguns to accept and RD. Anyone have any experience with this? https://www.meprolight.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/MepromicroRDSGlock_1024x1024.png https://www.meprolight.com/product/mepro-micrords/ My first RMR was on a dovetail mount. If you've put in the time to be proficient with irons, the increased height over bore will fuck with you more than lower, slide cut mount. It's less than optimal, but doable. Transitioning from irons to a dot is much easier with a cut slide and the sight as low as you can get it.  Attached File |

Prosecutors can't prosecute if you're dead! They did try on Kyle with the particular ammo used. Didn't work obviously. And he was using bulk ammo, not super duper deadly sniper ammo! I think there are two different considerations to defensive weapons. Don't put stupid shit on them like Punisher skulls, grim reapers, etc. The sort of stuff that has zero practical effect but provides iconography the prosecution can exploit. Do use quality ammo, good sights, trigger, RDS, get training, etc. These are practical things that will improve performance. Finally, accept the fact that if you use lethal force to defend yourself in certain place and circumstances, the prosecution is going to be politically incentivized to come after you for murder charges and nothing you do ahead of time will stop this. The prosecution will craft a story using whatever they can to try and put you in prison for life. That's the reality of America in 2022. For people who can't handle this, I'd suggest carrying no gun and practicing curling up into a fetal position. |

For a new shooter, you would be better investing the scratch in a training class. If you are already experienced, then it might improve your shooting a little bit.
I personally don't like them myself, after putting 1000 rounds through my Beretta with one mounted, I just went back to the fiber optic sights I had on there, but to each his own. |

In fairness a lot of people's point of reference probably hasn't caught up with the times. A lot of cheaper dots either don't have MOTAC or can't go 50k hours turned on. My Fastfire got moved to my .22 as a red dot trainer for that reason in favor of newer stuff that can go the distance. |

I've been shooting irons for a long time. Pistols, rifles, even had a red dot on a Mossberg turkey gun years ago. To say red dot optics aren't effective is ridiculous, they are. It's a choice and recently I chose to put a red dot on a pistol. I went from training regularly at 10 yards to training regularly at 25 yards. My pistol, my choice.

Just from a blank slate perspective. The Army figured this out and so did the other branches with Aimpoint. Old school iron sight shooters simply have more time and emotional investment. I’ve also found that after having a red dot for awhile I shoot irons better when I have to go back to them. I say this as someone who took awhile to get into the red dot game. |

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes. Next question. The only handgun I own that doesn’t and won’t have a RDS on it is my NAA Pug Knucklegun, and that only because it’s more of a meat tenderizer than a gun at this point.  Everything else gets an optic. I’m done with iron sights |

I find it ironic that lots of old timers reject RDS without ever trying them. I know I did. I had to prove it to myself, but an RDS, with minimal practice, makes you quicker and FAR more accurate. Old eyes benefit the most from an RDS pistol.
Great side affect....shooting with an RDS improves your iron sight shooting. What you THOUGHT was a good presentation of the pistol isn't...and an RDS shows you that very quickly. |

Finally broke down and put a Romeo Zero on my P365XL (I've also got a regular P365 with no red dot), as well as my Canik TP9SFX. They're kind of cool to shoot (just like they are on my various AR pistols). Necessary? Nah. Possibly better at faster target acquisition, especially in low light? YUP. I doubt that I'll be retro-fitting all of my handguns though. Red dots are far more important on my ARs than my handguns, that are designed for arm's length engagements anyway.

My buddy brought his gf to get her shooting and gave her I think it was a sig 365 with irons. she was all over the place. He asked if I could work with her while he shot. I put a P-10 with an rmr in her hand.. had her do a few dry fires, then fire away. almost immediately her groups tightened way up and she even said.. the dot makes it so much easier. This was only her second time shooting. So take that as you will. |

Shooting red dots actually made me better with irons. Tracking a dot while rapid firing is much easier than tracking irons to begin with. That gave me the confidence to actually rapid fire at indoor ranges and I got much better with recoil control. Once I could mag dump and and track the dot well enough blow the center out of a target, I found it much easier to teach myself to track irons since I now had excellent recoil control. Honestly, I don't know if I'm any faster/slower with either.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What happens when you shoot father away than a couple of feet? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Finally broke down and put a Romeo Zero on my P365XL (I've also got a regular P365 with no red dot), as well as my Canik TP9SFX. They're kind of cool to shoot (just like they are on my various AR pistols). Necessary? Nah. Possibly better at faster target acquisition, especially in low light? YUP. I doubt that I'll be retro-fitting all of my handguns though. Red dots are far more important on my ARs than my handguns, that are designed for arm's length engagements anyway. What happens when you shoot father away than a couple of feet? The average gunfight is at 3 yards, and the minimum is zero, so the longest gunfight will be 6 yards and you can still point shoot at that distance.

"Need"? No, of course not. But it's a bonus if you do.
I don't have one on my carry guns because 1) I'm prioritizing compactness and 2) I train mostly point/shoot with them. If I need to use it, it'll likely be fast and close. I have no intention of taking long shots in a self defense CCW situation. My plan is GTFO if possible. All HD guns have optics and lights, though - both long and short. Because that's likely to happen at night and may be greater distances. And I'm not running away, they are. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Projecting much? I bet if we took a poll you'd win the "most insufferable Arfcommer" award by a decent margin. Give it a rest man. I've NEVER seen you post something that wasn't an attempt to start an argument, or continue one. Quite the miserable SOB. Every thread he posts in is the same shit. Glad I don't have his life... lol |
