OG. Crazy to watch Jerry Barnhart articulate the benefits of a pistol red dot and single plane aiming in 1997, over 25 years ago. Given some of the ignorance and fudd lore that still persist I'm sure he got a lot of hate.  Failed To Load Title |

I shot iron sights with target focus for quite a while. Especially if you have a red or green/yellow front sight. Now if I want to practice a tight group Ill use front sight focus but for rapid fire, short distance (10yds or less) I think target focus is adequate for self defense shooting if you have the basics down |

Its a little brighter than my preference for everything else, but Im weird in that I always preferred mine slightly dimmer than most people. The + setting will likely be perfect for most. |

Originally Posted By CapsFan: So far, I'm liking the circle dot and the auto brightness works pretty well. Excellent. I went with the old RMR on this one due to size and price. My first dot and didn’t want any concealment hurdles to compound my learning curve. Gonna buy a P as a nightstand gun in the Spring and I’ll FO on one of the new offerings then. |

It still worked fine but he was fed up with it covering the entire rear of the slide. |

RMRs are dropping in prices with the release of the enclosed emitters. Holosuns are GTG! No issues with mine, aside from origin of manufacturer. Got the itch for a Blue label G26.5, since I have a lot of OEM + bases plates. Might have to wait as I purchased the XMacros.

Daniel Yeah, I bought a plate to run the 507k for a while. When it makes more sense, I’ll pick up another RMR. No reason not to since it’s just sitting in the safe anyway. Decided to go with the C&H Plate to mount the 507k. Originally looked at a cheaper plate on Amazon, but the C&H seems like a better system. Now we wait.

I’m really excited for Radian to release their Ramjet, Afterburner and Compressor for the Glock 17. I already bought a Gen 5 MOS G17 to build it out once they do. I think when they do that I am going to swap everything over from my G45 to my G19. Attached File |

Got the CHPWS plate in for the 507k. I like my FCD plate setup better on the 19, so I’ll eventually go with another of those at some point in the future. Still, this one mounted up just fine and should work until I’m ready to swap it out. Attached File |

Took my Glock 20.5 MOS 10MM large frame with Holosun SCS to the range for the first time yesterday. Sighted it in and took it over to the 50 yard, two one foot steel plates. The recoil took some getting used to. lol Sun was right in my eyes. 50 yards, two one foot steel plates. Far dirt bank. Steel plates on either side of the large rectangular target.  |

Shot show seemed kinda meh from a RDS standpoint. I guess that's to be expected somewhat as the tech seems very mature from a durability and battery life standpoint. The thermal / red dot fusion from Holosun seems neat though. |

The thermal / red dot fusion from Holosun seems neat though. Could mean a trend in the future. Thermal overlays or completely thermal optics becoming somewhat uncommon, but available on pistol dots or in a small form factor like Eotech-sized for reasonable prices. |

I have a serious Glock 19.5 MOS addiction. With the factory gen 5 Glock match barrel you can shoot 50 yards easily.Glock grip angle reduces recoil and allows you to shoot a little faster. 1.Trijicon SRO 2.Holosun SCS 3.Trijicon RMRcc  |

I find Ben Stoeger hilarious. He is extremely opinionated, and he makes really short videos sharing them. anyways. He hates the DPP  Do not buy the DPP |
