I bought some LaserLyte targets, 9mm LaserLyte bullet, and a blue LaserLyte Glock 43 pistol to help us at the church to practice without using “empty” firearms. Everyday I practice 50-75 draw and fire using my RMR on the LaserLyte. With the range and dry fire I have over 2,500 repetitions with the RMR. It has taken me a while to be able to pick the red dot up quick, but I have.

Can't say I like the sight at all, I was all over the board with it and my eye focus problem kept wanting to find the iron sights. At this time I will stick with my iron sights.

Did they have a CZ Shadow 2? Milled the slide to have a drop in sight or did they get an adapter plate that dovetailed in for where the rear sight would sit?

I have the Shadow Systems MR918 and it is milled for the RMR and I believe also the Delta Point. The RMR sets very low in the slide. The top comes off, but there are no plates since it is milled for just those two RDS. The Shadow Systems M920 is milled for many different sights.

The points made about putting the time in to get acclimated certainly seem valid, as far as range use. In a defensive shooting scenario, can you get a shot on target as quickly?

I have been carrying one for a while now. I see no need to go back. The pistol I carry is the Shadow System is it has a 1911 grip, beaver tail, extras that bin like, and and the slide milled for the RMR.

I also have the Sig XCarry with Romeo 1 that I like also. I just like the Shadow Systems a little more. The RMR sets a little lower on the rail and helps me to pick up the dot quicker.

I've decided to stick with the red dot for the next six months and I'm finally starting to turn the corner after about 700 rounds.

Absolutely correct. It takes time and reps to get used to it.

Too many people try it out once or twice and give up.

Red dots on handguns are game changing once you learn how to shoot with them.

That is the secret. Just don’t give up and after a lot practice (doesn’t have to the the range) it just clicks. I have sbout 500 rounds down rsnge and at least 1,000 drawing and shooting at a laser target.

Slide on the Shadow Systems MR918 is cut low enough that their stock sights 1/3 co-witness with a RMR.

A lot of Police Agencies are also making red dots available. I know one agency in East Texas that they have all changed over to the RMR on their Glock 17 provided by the department.

Thank you Mr. Cotton. I switched to a RMR several months ago. Mary and I just took a shooting class I used my RMR for the first time. It has taken a lot of dry practice and about 500 rounds at the range. One shot at a time, but I love mine.

One of the things I like is now I can actually shoot with both eyes open.
