New carry gun

[Kirk]

Nice set up.
Not specific to just that gun, generalize, is the dot or iron sights quicker inside 7-10 yards?

Not JCN, but it depends on the shooter, the target, the gun/sight combo, etc.

@JCN, why not have the slide milled for a 509t2 or Acro?

Have you played with a 226 before?

Well that didn't go well, quoted the wrong post that was meant for the OP.

For me, dot is quicker and more accurate inside 7-10. And outside 7-10 yards.

Because you don’t know if you will need head box accuracy at 7 yards.

Here’s small targets at 7 yards.



Here are larger targets and faster.

SCAT drill.



And very close up (I am seeing the dot on every shot).

I have a few P229s. 357/40 iron slide legion and optics cut 9mm legion. DASA for one and SAO for another.

The index is just off a whiff from my CZs so it would take retraining time to get fully seamless.

And I might as well go Glock 31 with a Shadow Systems frame if I was going to retrain.

@JCN the video is helpful and you're quick.

I've got a Glock 35 MOS with 357 Sig barrel that I'm contemplating putting a dot on.
Indoors, the blast from 357 Sig even with double hearing protection is notably more than 40 but its nice to have options.
My chrono averages with Lone Wolff 357 Sig barrel in the 35, all factory ammo:
125 Gold Dot @ 1,399 fps
125 HST @ 1,415 fps
125 Ranger T @ 1,428 fps
125 PPU FPJ @ 1,461 fps
