It’s 2004 again. Yay.

Yep, and I'm going to Blockbuster to rent Collateral and then pick up a pizza and a 12 pack of Mountain Dew on the way home. Life is good!

If it helps, I kept the FCD plate and Ameriglo 470's. Going to put them on a 45 MOS for more overt situations as time and funds permit. Enjoying carrying the '04 style 19 for now though.

What belt/buckle is that?

I went into dots at the beginning of the year. I like them, ESPECIALLY shooting at extended distances. Last week I pulled the last dot off my carry pistol, not because I don't think they're a technical improvement, but because I haven't found a dot that meets my needs yet.

Specifically, I'm mounting dots on 1911s (Stacatto) and a 365XL. The problems are having are several:

1. Dots small enough to mount on slim slides have such small windows that I find them to be MUCH slower to acquire, no matter how perfect my presentation is, or how much I try to track the dot in recoil
2. The three different auto-adjust dots I tinkered with were all flawed with major light "defects" in any exterior light. I'm certain this was exclusively based on the make/model I was trying, but there was so much weirdness on those screens that it was VERY difficult to see through them and acquire the target.
3. The manual adjust dots I used had two settings - too dim to see in daylight or too bright to be used in dim/interior lighting. Setting the brightness "dim" enough to not have huge bloom/glare on the lens indoors meant the dot was invisible on light colored targets in full daylight, and very dim against light colored targets when illuminated with a handheld light.
4. I'm just not confident that any of the dots I've used are going to be there when I NEED them - thinking about unpredictable battery life, unpredictable response to climate conditions, etc

At this point, I'm too cheap to do what would probably solve these issues - and buy ACROs/RMRs/SROs. Fortunately, my eyesight, while failing somewhat, is still plenty good for me to do what I need to at the 25 yard line, so I'm OK with irons.

I had a Gen 2 RM06. #2, 3, and 4 are still issues.

Graith Sanmai LT. Love this belt.

I want red dots on everything now. Glocks, eventually my SD9VE, pellet guns, the spray nozzle on the garden hose. Everything.
