Thread: Red dot vs iron sight gun

  1. #121
    My wife had another great match at Tuesday Night Steel, which was held today, because of the holiday.



    On the last stage, I was first pistol out of the 114 pistol shooters. Here is one string of that stage, to give you a feel for the match.

    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    What? Oh dammit, first Tuesday off since forever and I should have realized they were going to have it today.

    Why? Not being a smartass. Honestly curious. My MagPul experience is limited (<1 year) but they've been 100% thus far.

    My experience with Magpul 140 and 170mm magazines, is they cause reliability problems in otherwise reliable Glock pistols.

    After another 6 months of messing with the 140mm mag, I’ve come to the same conclusion.

    I have one 140mm, and all I use it for is a range barney.

    Then I would continue on if I were you. How can you not believe your own experience?

    2nd part of classifier. Boss lady didn’t record the freestyle, reload strong hand only. I had actually been practicing transition to weak hand a few days before this match. Glad I did!

    At 53, it's been at least 8-10 years since I've been able to focus on a pistol's front sight. I've come up with my workarounds, involving mostly target-focused shooting with a narrow, fiber optic front sight. I also draw with target focus and depend on a good index to have the sights show up aligned on target.

    To be completely honest I'm amazed that I made it to B class in Production in my first full season (2019), and during tonight's match my stage times were within 3 - 4 seconds of the CO guys who have better sights and two fewer reloads than I.

    But I'm tired of the workarounds and I'm tired of dropping points on 15 - 30 yard shots because the top of the front sight is always a blur. Knowing this was coming, I bought a P-10F Optics Ready at the end of November. And last night I gave up and ordered an RMR from Euro Optic. I thought about an SRO but decided on the RMR because I can either sell it or just move it to my EDC P-01 after having it milled.

    TBH I'm excited about not being constrained by the sights any more. I should have the RMR by Wednesday evening since Euro Optic is only one state away.
