Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Rds on pistol? Yea or nay

I would also prefer a acope on a rifle

The Holosun 507C and K have a rear sight on the RDS that will cowitness

My previous post on getting comfortable with them was in reference to defensive type shooting from a holster. And I do believe that a virgin pistol shooter will benefit greatly by going straight to an optic. This is for or a variety of reasons not the least of which being that you are going to have grip issues and presentation resolved right out of the gate. And that can only make you a better shooter in the long run.

But if you just want to try a dot to try a dot, sure. There's nothing wrong with slapping one on a .22LR and giving it a go.

My kids rifles wore dots a lot but for sub-25yds stuff. When I say this I'm referring to beer can or gopher size targets. Bigger targets allow their use out further but if the dot is covering a significant portion of what they want to hit they will struggle. Once my son wanted to start hitting small schit past 30ish yds I made sure he had a 4X or better. My oldest daughter was always fine hitting the stuff that was real close so never moved past them.

Pard and his Wife flew home with me and after leaving the tarmac,I grabbed a few rifles and we headed out to confirm any/all bumps/bruises accrued in transit. He fiddle fhuqked with his schit and I handed her a 223 wearing a BTR Gen2 2-12x Mil FFP and she got windswept by perhaps 6-inches at 1300yds and drove same on the 2nd poke. Why?!? Chicks listen. Hint.

You Chicks would be WELL served to follow suit,as a RDS simply has NO fhuqking equal. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Thanks.

My thought were a 22 to just get used to the thing.
Give one enough time to decide I like it.
Then move on.

Dealinsuck,

It might be a thang,but watch out for the dust! Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

That was mean.

Thus far it would seem that those who put in the time and effort required to earn competence prefer a rds. You gotta do the reps to learn the lesson. There is no EZ button if you want to be a pistolero

Little Twig and I have respectfully disagreed in the past.😂😂😂😂😂😂

I quit tweaking him when it became apparent what a troubled, damaged
person he is. It's not right to kick someone like that.

He was just acting out in his mentally weakened way.

I find him to be quite agreeable.

I think anyone that states RDS are a great improvement over irons with respect to speed and accuracy at short ranges are overstating their benefits. There are studies that she even the best shooters only benefit a little from RDSs, and poor shooters tend to do somewhat worse.

This is a study that's been bandied about for several years on many handgun shooting websites that suggests the limited benefits of a red dot for most people, while pointing out that lasers have a much bigger bigger benefit than RDSs for most shooters.

No dispute at longer ranges the RDS is better for accuracy.

Dealinsuck,

Your Brokedick Retardation,only affects you...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Pardon wares that exist,as you "get" to play with your GoogleFu. Hint.

Watch out for that dust! Hint.

Grocks,

Irons don't sweep Open Division Tournies,because they are SECRETLY "better" and "faster". Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...................

I'll give my timers a stern talking to.

Thanks.

That's about as plain as it can be put.

If you are on your sights at presentation, then you are on the DOT if you can't find the DOT then you aren't on your sights

Jim wants everybody to know what his interpretation of "handgun" is.

If you’re wrestling with the decision, and have a Glock Gen 3, this is about the same cost as buying the Holosun and sending the Glock slide off to be milled.

And, you get a threaded barrel and suppressor height sights.

And you still have your stock Glock upper in case you decide that this isn’t for you.

Who’s milling slides for a direct mount ACRO?

TWR,

If you google that question...

I guess i should’ve asked who do we trust to mill slides. But thanks.

And thanks for the heads up on the slide and red dot combo, it just cost a buddy of mine some money. Or I should say saved him some.
