You can be just as far off target with iron sights, both need to be adjusted properly to be accurate. They also have iron sights that co-witness with the RDS, if the RDS fails you can still aim. I don’t think an RDS is any more apt to fail than any other part on a pistol. I’ve had iron sights break and even fall off, nothing is 100% reliable. It really just boils down to getting used to them.txhighlander wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 6:10 pm I looked into red dot at one time, thought for the money range time with iron sights a better investment. I have a friend that carries a Glock 19 with a Holosun everyday. He finally got me to try it a few weeks ago. The target was one of the 5 bullseyes on 1 target. I picked the upper right and slow fired 15 missed shots, they raved about my tight group that was in the center of the target. At 7 yards if it was a defence shooting I would be dead relying on a red dot. No way no how on a carry pistol. My friend is former pd and shoots on a regular basis. Red dots are to me like adaptive cruise, adaptive braking and lane departure systems on newer cars. It is fun while it works but it is destined to fail at the most inconvenient of times.

Re: Who's running a dot on their pistol?
Well, I was hoping the election results would be different and the firearms frenzy would die down so I can get a CZ since it’s one brand I’ve never owned (plus I always hear good things about it). So much for that for the time being. Nice setup Charles and thanks for sharing.

Re: Who's running a dot on their pistol?
I have one on my G40 and I love it, it's got the Leupold so it's red. Just thinking out loud but green would probably be easier for contrast with the background. I intended to get a RDS on my carry gun but I keep switching carry guns so I haven't done it yet but eventually that's my plan.
