I have that one the PCC now. My thinking is that the circle will help find the dot if I have a problem again. I shoot 2 idpa matches a month and usually finish mid pack overall so no grand master for sure. But I think it will really help if I ever actually need a gun. Just shooting from a wide range of different positions is worth it's weight in gold to me. My wife shoots one of the matches with me. Just yesterday we were looking over the stages for Saturday and on one, we need to lie down on a carpet and shoot under a fence. So we moved our coffee table a bit, gunned up w/ double verified empty guns, and practiced getting down on the carpet and dry firing for 30 minutes. She is 68 and I am 75 so real glad no one was watching us. We have several guys at each match shooting from what is obviously their actual carry rig. I don't do that but I can see how it could be a really good idea.
