I spent good coin on a holster and a red dot sight for my Poly 80 Glock 19 clone for this event. I figured that was a good choice.
This evening some guy in GD posts about a new sight for his Python. I replied to his post, and that made the gears upstairs turn for me. Dad carried a Python—that he bought—as his service weapon when he worked for the Dallas PD. Do I buy a holster and speed loaders for the Python to use instead of the Poly 80? I realize it will likely hurt my time, but I’m more interested in a safe run; at 56 I’m lucky if I don’t place last. What say the Rockdale crew? Python or Poly? |

Your gay for not using the python at this event and gay for this being the thing that convinced you to get a decent holster and a (likely just as gud shitty Chinese) red dot sight Make your dad proud with the python or forever be a gay old man with a disappointed dad. #HarshButNotGay |

It's only gay if he shoot .38 special. |

I cleared the range at CWTX2 with a single stack 1911 and two 8 rd mags. Its what I had at the time. It was at night. Use your G19 if the Python is going to be an excuse for not clearing steel. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HDLS: Yes. Is it clear as mud? The majority of people shoot an AR with some type of magnified optic, but red dots and iron sights have been used. Mini 14s and AKs, M1919s, Barrett .50 cal, Draco, grenade launchers, hand grenades, revolvers and probably a few other things have been tried, some with better results than others. I'd recommend an AR with an LPVO or an ACOG or equivalent and a 9mm pistol with a red dot. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HDLS: Originally Posted By Scott_S: I googled “cola warrior gear” and got crap for results. “A” pistol and two mags means to me that I need the equivalent of a service pistol, holster, and probably a mag holder.
