The red dot changes the shooters focus from the front site to the target. Bring the dot up onto the target you are now focused on and shoot. I haven't tried it yet. Some of you have e I see.

Only thing 19 about it is the slide. The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

It seemed fine. No optics cut though. None of them had it except for a model 45. Kid behind the counter said a 45 is a 17 frame with a 19 slide....more or less. Seemed OK. Glocks seem to be half the money of a Sig. I am MAGA.
