This site lists 1600 active members. I would be surprised if more than 160 carried RDS. I don't think that the group thinks they are a necessity.Originally Posted by Rocky Racoon
The other part, well, I am the guy that Hack is being so subtly sarcastic about. I gots a dot, a kydex holster, both are in a junk position, I certainly have gone to classes wearing LBVs, and I am almost a pharmacist. Seems like I been canceled first.
Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
I bet a cadet who starts at the academy with a dot like he was talking about would learn a more consistent drawstroke and trigger press faster than one using irons.
One thing Hackathorn didn’t mention at all about dots is that they’re one of the best dryfire diagnostic tools out there, and it might be that he didn’t notice because he has such a good trigger press that the dot didn’t show him how he was screwing up like it did for me.
All that said, I don’t carry a dot day to day because of not wanting to be arsed with the extra maintenance and cleaning, like he mentioned. But I do have one on my dry-fire gun/range gun.
More of an annoyance.
Enough 'Well, that sucks, but I won't get old' things have come true that thinking vision won't is foolhardy.
Future proofing is better than playing catch-up.
Noticed this during a week with Larry Mudgett this summer. During a particular skip-loading drill, my partner and I called some bad presses Larry asked about - thinking they were fine. With the PMO shooter could call the bad press but the partner (or observer) couldn't confirm. I had debated taking an iron or dot gun, and am glad I took the latter for this reason.
Hard work with my PMO has also benefitted shooting with irons, but the reverse isn't true.

1) I don't have an RDS on any of my pistols
2) I don't have a strong desire to put an RDS on any of my pistols at this time.
With that out of the way, that I'm not in whatever perceived cool kids group you think is going on........
Stop being a little bitch.

This isn’t the first time many forum members disagreed with something Ken Hackathorn said in one of these Wilson Combat videos. I remember a thread about the retention shooting video they did a little while back. The techniques being taught were outdated and not found to be as effective as some of the more recently accepted techniques. I’ve taken one class fro Ken Hackathorn. I enjoyed it but not because of the instruction received. I just liked talking to the man and picking his brain about gun stuff. Ken Hackathorn is a national treasure because he’s seen and done so much and his knowledge base is enormous. He’s not a national treasure because he’s the best instructor around.

Since LE work involves more computer screen time than trigger time by a factor of a million, I figure the blue light from the screen ruined my eyes so that when I retire they need to pay for both my hearing aid batteries AND my pistol RDS batteries ;-)Is there no end?...it took 28 years for you guys to cajole me into installing night sights on my Glocks...now this...
(I've got an H2 on my AR. That's as far as I'm going down this road.)
I wonder if 5 years is enough lead time to get a true custom .38 Super Commander cut for a P-2.......
Again with the assumption that that he hasn't put in the work.
Most of the 1,600 aren't active. There's what? A couple hundred here that post with any regularity? I don't know how many of those carry dots.
Where did that come from? Did I insult you?
