I'm at the point that a new dot is just budgeted into the cost of a new carry gun. I don't see any reason to not have one. With the caveat that on a carry gun it HAS to be a quality dot. Not a justasgoodas dot or a dot "to try it out and see how I like it".
Agreed.
The only 'area' I'm still holding out on is my 'beating around the woods' gun that gets thrown in the bed of my Gator when I'm working around my place or in my kit bag (then hung up on a limb, thrown in the truck, etc) when I'm off at the family property logging, wandering, etc. It's also my bear hunting handgun (just in case, after the 45-70 has done its work)
That's just a 'basic bitch' Sig 320 (.45 acp) that replaced a G21 (that's in the same role for my son now).
