OK, I resisted for a good while but I think it’s time I give a handgun red-dot a try. I have a Glock 19 that’s my primary CCW and a Glock 21 that’s my “alternate” that I only carry if there would be an issue that would cause my G19 to be unavailable. I’m willing to put in the practice needed to give the red-dot a realistic chance of success but I’m reluctant to have the slide of my G19 cut in case it wouldn’t work out. I guess trying the red-dot on my G21 is my most practical option.
Thinking about this got me curious about what others did when they went to a red-dot on their handguns? Jump right into the deep end and install the red dot on primary CCW? Tried it first on an alternate handgun? Bought a new handgun to try it? Maybe I should give a thought to a new handgun but if I do that and it works then I have to still outfit my primary and alternate CCW Glocks.
