Has anybody put a 407k on a Glock 42? Battlewerx does not offer an optic cut on the G42

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MRW: Stock sights cannot be seen with the Battlewerx cut and Holosun 407. What are the most basic steel iron sight height that will have the u-notch clear the optic? No tritium, perhaps white dot front only. I'm looking hard at the Ameriglo set for $60 Edit: I see that on the Battlewerx order page they list the Ameriglo 2x height sights has having lower 1/3 cowitness, so that gives me a reference point. Lanbo's has ameriglo irons for >$40 with $10 shipping fyi |

I am thinking seriously about selling my 48, which I rarely ever carry, and getting another 19.5 MOS. I already have four 19s but just the one MOS.

This fucking dot thing is starting to get more expensive than the gun part!
 Had a CZ Shadow Lite with all the Cajun goodies that I shot in Production Division, back when Production was cool. Now that Cary Optics is where it's at, I figured I'd get it cut. Cajun did the work and supplied the plate. |

Just got my 17L back from having it milled. I had planned to keep the slide in the box as a xmas gift to myself...that lasted about 5 minutes before I tore the box open and started doing dryfire drills in the house.
 Hoping to be able to hit the range this week and report back on how it shoots. |

OEM barrel or KKM? I need a range report! Thanks. I like the TLR9 as well. Aesthetically, but especially because it can use the 16650 rechargeable battery instead of the 2xCR123. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?46720-Streamlight-TLR-9-16650-Rechargeable-Pistol-WML  Its 4.52oz with the 16650, so does indeed help reduce muzzle rise, and then I have a 3oz brass 'Seattle Slug' by Taylor Freelance in the backstrap, which helps balance out the WML and further reduce muzzle rise. Overall a very mild shooting pistol. I'm using the factory barrel. I've been tempted by KKM's and Barstos, but the factory barrel is already quite accurate, and I'm worried an aftermarket barrel might produce lower velocities then the 6" Glock barrel. Although if I could find a aftermarket barrel that produced higher then stock velocity (even as little as a consistent +25fps) I'd snag one, as maxing out velocity is one of the main appeals of the 17L for me. I'll definitely report back once I've hit the range. |

Does anyone find it annoying that the RMR goes into auto mode after 16 hours? This, to me, is a design flaw. I use a G19 for my bedside gun. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I need the brightness preset to work with a WML. In auto mode, the RMR does not adjust fast enough when you turn turn on your WML.

I need a range report! Took the 17L to the range yesterday. Very nice with the RDS; the longslide + wml + grip weight results in a very soft shooting gun that was able to easily keep the dot in the window, at least at the moderate cadence I was firing it at. Best 5-shot groups of the day @ 15yd:  However most of the day I was off / a bit shaky. I made a bunch of "3 shots great, 2 shots terrible" groups like this.  |

I use the TLR7 and I have no issues with auto adjust. I can easily see the dot until I'm about 3 feet from A white wall.
Granted, this is with a 500L light with a fat floody center. If you're using a different light you may have different results. I like knowing whether it's pitch dark or noon sun the rmr Intensity is spot on. |

 Just got my 226 back from being milled/cerakoted. Oiled it up and mounted the red dot, should be able to go sight it in tomorrow. After getting used to the red dots, I can't go back to irons. This might sound like blasphemy, but am I the only one that likes the 507 more than the RMR? Holosun glass doesn't have the blue tint, window feels larger, and the 32 moa circle is great for fast shooting. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bradd_D: Still about the same. While I have 3 guns with dots now, they haven't been a game changer for me yet. My main concern has always been the practicality of a red dot. I really don't care about hitting tiny tiny targets at 25+ yards. I care about speed inside of 10 yards, which is why I've always hesitated to buy a dot. It seems like dots shine at distance while irons may be faster up close. I'm going to buy an RMR regardless, because I want to at least give it a fair shot. What has been your experience with it? Are there any benefits/drawbacks from your perspective. |

After a little practice it won’t be slower up close. It takes some reps, but it’ll come to you. My 25 yard accuracy didn’t really get better. Like I haven’t shot my tiniest group ever with a dot, but I consistently shoot better with a dot. Trigger control is still my limiting factor. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By StowaNewb: So inside of 10 yards, would you say you're as fast with a dot as you are with irons? Absolutely. Just like with irons, the sight picture doesn’t have to perfect all the time. It takes a bit to get used to the difference, but when you get to where you know what you can get away with, the speed will be there. |

I have both, I’m faster to get on target with irons but transition faster between targets using a red dot.
What it comes down to for me is it’s easier to get a “good enough” sight picture with irons from a holster. Even using the sights as a guide to present then transitioning to the dot was an improvement (and was the best strategy for me according to the shot timer), but it is still slower. I have settled on an RMR for my HD pistol where I will likely come from a ready position… but I am sticking with irons for carry guns where I expect to present from a draw.  -Mike |
