Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns My first red dot

Interesting, thanks.

Back in the '90s I got a 5.5 Target model, with the full length rail, intellectually for squirrel hunting. Easy to mount a scope, and I used a Burris 1½-4x (I think, something like that). Since moved to a Leupold 2x. And then to a Burris red dot.

All this after gravitating from a Single Six (fixed sight), another Singe Six (adjustable sights and a clamp-on scope mount), a MkII with scope mount... And partly 'cause wifey wouldn't let me add a scope mount base to her High Standard Tournament model.

Haven't actually shot the Target model very often, don't really do much pure target shooting... and never really used the rotating-front-sight width-adjustment feature.

I'm just now in the process of switching the barrel/rail/front sight to use a suppressor... and probably sell off the original barrel/rail/sights... so once I'm done with all that and I get around to sighting the new set-up in again, I'll pay more attention to trigger pull.

Thanks again.
