Definitely. Such a big disadvantage over the open major guys. If I don't finish high enough overall, I just look at how I compared to the guys in my division.

Yes sir. I try to do several a month.
That's honestly what you're supposed to do anyway, see where you compare to the Limited shooters as even if Open was shooting minor they'd still have a major advantage. Here's my Open and SS guns, posted a few pages back but I won't make you search for it.Definitely. Such a big disadvantage over the open major guys.

That's really cool. I wish I could find time to delve into it. i guess I compete with myself. LOL.
Nice!
Awesome gun. Get yourself a KDG handguard and mount that bipod more toward the front. Love it on mine.
Very nice. I have a Magpul AFG for it. Just trying to maximize available rail space. If I don't like that or feel cramped (as I suspect I will), I will certainly switch to your setup. Very nice!!!
Thought I'd share this video. Interesting take on Red Dots. Interesting take on new shooters and trained thought process.
He is pretty much on point with that, IMO.
I think the average guy will be much better served with iron sights on a defensive scenario. Irons will never fail you and will be MUCH easier to acquire while under severe stress (thats if you even get opportunity/privilege to line up sights).
Unless you are a professional or a high skill civi, that happens to train day in and out with a red dot, I would not go with a red dot on a conceal carry. I’d just leave it on a range toy, till you get at least 10,000+ rounds and never miss the dot on initial presentation.
I feel the same 100%. My range toy does and carry does not. Like he said the distance you would normally engage, battery, zero, more bulky, small loss of sight picture. With so much going on in that hectic moment, it would be a liability.
Thats exactly how I roll right meow. Even though I would consider myself very proficient with handguns, for edc / cc, I feel more confident in a high stress situation with the irons. I have not yet put enough time and rounds behind a red dot, for me to steak my life on it.
I can go to the range with a red dot and perform better than with irons, but that is at the range, not a life and death highly dynamic amd stressful environment.
The time might come later on when I do make that switch but not right now.
I'm in the same boat. My two carries have iron sights. My third, and newest S&W 9mm has a red dot.
I have a romeo 1 pro on .
my sig 320...and i know im damn faster and more accurate with irons. Now ive only had the romeo for aboit a year and have not put a lot of time into it. Currently at the range with a slower pace im decent with it. But nothing like what i am with the irons ive been shooting with for 25 years
My edc guns are iron...the 320 with romeo is more of a range queen
Theoretically, you should be faster and a better shot with a red dot. No sight alignment needed and you put the dot on the target. As long as you did a good job of zeroing it in of course. But I think it goes back to the video and our learned behavior.
Yeah man....the red dot just doesnt feel natural to me
At this point, as long as I can still see the irons, I will continue to use them for EDC and competition. I have seen too many guys panic when the buzzer goes off at competitions and their dot doesn't come on or they can't find it. I can't imagine what would happen if it took place in real life. I have played around once at an indoor competition and used a red dot for the fun of it. For now, I want to compete to help prepare me for what I do in everyday situations. However, with a little practice, someone is definitely going to get faster with a red dot than if they keep shooting irons.
Yes, as I learned, the key to a red dot is.....PRACTICE! I actually like mine, but like I said above, I prefer an iron sight on my carry pistol.
