I always get so many ideas for my own shooting from these videos. Finally considering a red dot for my carry pistol, despite the high prices and pain of getting the slide milled. Great video as always.
Great question! Here's a list of a few primary problems we see with lasers: 1. Lasers often get lost in bright sunlight or photonic barriers. Too much light washes them out. 2. Lasers don’t work through windows and windshields. Mirrors bounce them back, sometimes back into your eyes. 3. The offset with lasers is reversed being on the bottom of the gun which makes it hard to know hold overs at different distances since the laser is rising and the bullet falling. 4. Distance shooting is difficult because of the inability to see the laser on the target. 5. Holsters that will accommodate a laser are very limited. There is a learning curve with the dot, but it's not so steep that the average shooter can't pick it up quickly. Hope that helps!
One tip that'll probably get ignored by SMEs to help Natalee get used to 2 eyes open shooting is to put on clear safety glasses with the non dominant eye part covered by tissue/tape etc then practice aiming like you suggested. It help me even with shooting iron sights 👀 And good on Natalee with getting after it👍🏻
I am not an expert, just starting this process myself. That said, the people who spend the 5-$600 on the RMR seem to think it’s amazing. I am very intrigued by the primary arms and holosun Collaboration with the ACSS Vulcan reticle. It’s a system to help you find the dot when you are either new to dots, or shooting From unconventional positions. It is also about half the price of the RMR.
Holosun is a good one to consider, their reliability seems to be pretty good and the price point is reasonable too. I like the Trijicon SRO myself, I like the big window but find I change the batteries more often and the price is 2X or better. Of you want to ‘try’ out a dot, I think you’d be in great shape with the Holosun.
2:182:29 not criticizing, just asking- she does the “elevator ride” arc in the presentation, not straight out. Is that something to correct going forward, or just let it be? Appreciate the series
Yeah, that’s the process. The idea being the quickest way to get from point A to Point B is a straight line. The L shaped draw, typically takes a bit longer and with the dot doesn’t give much advantage of any. Fair question!
Trained myself for both eyes open (with irons) _unless_ the target is among a repeating horizontal pattern and all the targets start superimposing on top of one another, and I need to squint in order to confirm
Great education... I'm gonna throw one in from left field: do you know how to change a flat tire on a bike? Adjust a derailleur... it's easy! Crucial skills that you can use on a daily basis. Have you lubed your seat tube? Gas is getting pricy? Have you Biked today? Ride and Smile! Cover your ASP!
@@neilweidner9361 Glad she's got other practical skills. As her Dad have you taught her what bad boy means? Bad=not good, Boy=male with impulse control issues. Teach her that and based on most womens experiences she'll be lot more safer if she heeds your advice. Have a good'un.
Tape the objective side lens(target side, not optical side) it will force you to target focus. If you dot focus all you'll see is dot and tape NO target. Target focus and the brain will put both images together

Really a good channel for those that want to ensure their safety.
How to keep red dot so clean
I just love to see progress 👍
So honest question, laser vs red dot what are the pros and cons of each?

Also keep in mind that using a laser will take up the space where a pistol light could be used instead which is vital for a defensive weapon.

We may give that a try, but we’re going to work through the process a bit first.
@@neilweidner9361 Fair enough mate👍🏻
Tape the dot + target focused shooting = winning
Recommended red dot to get?
Trijicon RMR 3.25 MOA, Trijicon MRO, Holosun 507c, I have all 3 and highly recommend. Holosun will be the lower price point.

I promise you she can change a tire

What is the clicking before the shot breaks? I know what she shoots, but have never heard that before.
It's the hammer going into the half-cock position.
It's a double action pistol. Most what seems like a first stage on the single action while the trigger is being pulled. Mine does the same thing.
