Red Dots

I was an early adopter of red-dot optics.

I bought an Aimpoint 1000, that Harvey has mounted to her 10/22, back in 1990ish when I first encountered the idea.

Put the dot on where you want the bullet to go, the bullet goes there.

Just like a laser sight!

Playing with FuzzyGeff's Imatronic Lasersight LS45 laser sight convinced us that I'd made the correct decision in dot-on-target technology.

Since then I've gotten a procession of red-dots for my modern sporting guns.

I've been mostly content except for my astigmatism getting worse in my right eye.

I've been watching as red-dots have made in roads onto pistol slides.

I was not an early adopter here.

The extra protrusion of the sight, to me, precludes using them for pocket carry.

Then having a slide milled precluded getting one for other forms of carry, and getting a different holster cut for it...  Lots of reasons to not.

Even getting a pistol already cut for it would have been an additional expense.

Well.

Thanks to Mr Fleetwood, I now own a pistol already milled for a red-dot.

Most of the holsters for it are already cut away to accommodate the things.

That leaves only the procurement of the nefarious device to bolt to the slide.

And I don't know if I will.

In theory, I like the idea.  I want to see if it works out in practice, but don't wanna spent the money.

I am, however, saved!  The local range has a P320 with a Romeo already on it for rent.

I think I will take the cheap way out.
