Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Guess I got in the red dot game ..

well as you can see mine is just the Foundation line so it's nothing fancy. it's pretty much a Glock with a dress on I guess you could say.. the slide and all's nicer the interchangeable back straps slide on you can get Miguel's form that easily go on but also included in the fancier models.
standard cut rifling not polygons.
the rifling is deep cut looks good looks real good.
so far I haven't shot it and have to make a fair assessment.
the trigger is flat-faced but feels exactly like a Glock.
the elite and better series are supposed to have better triggers and the shoe was also aluminum on the higher end stuff where this one is just plastic.
to my understanding and the appearance of all internals are interchangeable with Glock. the optic cut on the slide as well thought out and well done with lots of options. the owner's manual is probably the best owner's manual I've ever seen come with the firearm. the back side is metal and just blacked out the front side is metal with a white dot. and they are tall enough to still use with the optic on.
really don't know what else to say tonight I'm going to shoot it and try to get the optic adjusted and sighted in..
that might give me a better idea on how accurate it is or maybe I should say how accurate I am with it cuz I'm sure that's the limiting factor.

I'd love to be able to do that off hand at 15 yards. I call that pretty darned good shooting.

thanks Paul, it's nice to have a civil conversation with you..

I'm going to go outside and make sure hell ain't froze over.

I'll take a high speed, low drag, option, personally, rather than attaching all kinds of electronics to my defensive handgun in the hope of compensating for lack of skill.

I kind of figured that
my preliminary thought they will be quite fun on a range/match/fun gun.

the CCW type gun I'm a little bit don't know..

The common problems people have, or often just fear having with red dots are pretty much negated by buying quality and mounting so the sights co-witness with the irons.

As for having to worry about the battery, changing the battery in your handgun optic is a matter of being responsible enough to keep track and change it on a regular basis. Just like you need to clean and lube your auto pistol on a regular basis. Or change you carry ammo from time to time. That’s my take on it. IDHolton, I think you will come to love yiur optics.

What you're saying is that it's one more thing that could possibly go wrong, so it becomes one more thing regarding which you need to take measures designed to forestall its occurrence.

Brother, I have no bone to pick with you. You seem like a nice, intelligent man. I have carried a sidearm every day since 1985. In situations where my life depended on it. I have total faith in my ability to use the optic in a tight situation, and my ability to use the backup sight. I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Take care and be safe!

Not really. Once you condition your brain to look for that dot, that's it. When the "balloon goes up," therefore, you will look for that dot and, not finding it, will keep looking till your conscious brain figures out something is wrong, which is a waste of vital seconds durig a life or death struggle.
