    The great thing about the red dot is, after you learn it, you are forced into having proper technique with the handgun, so even if you go back to irons your consistency and presentation is so much nicer than it was before.

Reset what on that firearm? Are you saying he should have emptied the chamber and reinserted the mag? Do you not carry with a round in the chamber? I never saw him violate one of the four fundamentals of gun safety.

Now that they've accepted it can and does work and it's not going to fade out people are investing time in learning it and developing instruction around it. There were classes for red dot edc guns around since 2012.

    I'm almost 52. Been shooting since I was 8 years old. Very good with AK's, AR's, shotguns, etc. Grew up hunting, even as a kid, sometimes in order to help feed our family. Do my own gunsmithing for the most parts as well. I can fit and install every part on a 1911. Strip and clean AR/AK blindfolded. My all time favorite handgun, the one I qualified (perfect score) with for my CWP, is an old, well worn P228, my most cherished handgun in my collection. But for the life of me, I CAN NOT GET THE HANG of red dots on a handgun. I have tried in the past with a Canik TP9sfx. Took the dot off after 10 minutes. I gave up. It was not natural. I DIDNT trust the dot. It was floating unnaturally around. I didn't want to send one over the berm. My buddy took the handgun..boom boom boom, center mass. I was so frustrated. I also have bad astigmatism. The dot is not a dot. It's a star bust. I felt left out of a sport I truly love and cherish. I recently bought a Sig M17 and a M18 (my buddy is shooting a Sig X5 Legion with a Romeo sight. I chose to go with two handguns for the price of one..but one day, if I can learn this red dot thing, I will buy a Legion as well) and I am going to learn this skill, once and for all. I got a Holosun with the circle dot in green. This is easier on my eyes with my astigmatism. Having two items on glass makes it easier for me to find the dot and put everything into perspective. No idea why. But it is. This has been the very BEST video I have found on how to learn this skill. Thank you Colion and Sig Sauer Training Academy!!! I have this video on REPEAT. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sorry for the novel, but I had to share my excitement.

    I have light eyes and large pupils and i frequently feel that it's more "bright" (as far as my eyes hurting) when it's overcast than when it's sunny. UV is invisible and doesn't cause your pupils to constrict like bright visible light does, but it still hurts your eyes. So you can actually get more of it in your eyes on a slightly overcast day than on a sunny day

    You should train to shoot at fast as possible and hit whatever size/distance your target is. The 9mm and 5.56 are rounds that are very forgiving of missed shots. You're more likely to have good effects with multiple rounds. If your target is man sized at 10m you don't need to be taking slow, accurate shots. You slow down your shot cadence for more distant or smaller, low percentage targets.

    So many "EXPERT" firearms instructors teach different/conflicting approaches. Leads me to believe that so many firearms instructors are self-appointed experts, and they gain their notoriety by convincing others that they are experts. But that doesn't stop them from charging hundreds (or thousands) of dollars for their one or two day classes.

    This is what I'm wondering. If the dot is focused beyond 10 or 20 ft, then presbyopia - which causes issues being able to see iron sights clearly - won't be a problem. I switched to red-dot and scopes on my rifles for this reason and I'm wondering if I should consider switching to red-dot on my pistol as well. I think a trip to my local gun store/range is in order to try for myself.
