I’m a lover of red (and green) dots on handguns and it seems like manufacturers and sporting competitors are adopting this as standard more and more.
RDS cuts on pistols from the factory seem more commonplace and factory equipped slide ride handguns aren’t uncommon.
But when will we see handgun design evolve to maximize that?
I moved from USPSA Carry Optics to Open and there are real advantages to a frame mounted optic in both shooting at speed and durability. Dot tracking at speed is easier and more linear. Optics and mounting hardware aren’t subjected to the battering and shear forces.
Currently I have two commercially made guns that were designed with frame mounted dots:
Will we see evolution of handgun design to maximize dot performance in the future? Or will it be status quo for the foreseeable future?
I saw that Agency has an optic mount like this:
Will it be the next Timmy fad?
