Most vids out there talk about gear and prep but this one also teaches you how to shoot which most don't.
I’ve never shot a firearm and at 65 I am learning so much from this content. Whether you agree or disagree every video I have watched on this channel offers instruction first. I am so appreciative of that!
Miles, you're back
Really appreciate your instruction. It’s top notch and you’re an excellent instructor.
Great video Miles, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
VERY HELPFUL. Thanks. I've been shooting for 35 years, but I'm new to red dots on pistols.
I literally got a red dot today and was trying to figure this same thing out, your first technique was the one I just kinda fell into and worked for me to start. But after watching this I will for sure try all 3 to see what works for me!
Very much needed this video. Irons i am fine with, dots I cant see the at the same speed.
Always enjoy your videos as they are always straightforwarrd,with great instructions
Definitely gave me 3 ideas to try
Thank you, helpful
Good job Miles.
This is excellent. Thank you.
Simple dryfire practice. Most folks can’t find the dot because they present barrel low, then they fish around with their wrist to find the dot, bad. Learn to present with the sights lined up, look at the target and raise the firearm into your field of vision. Dryfire practice until it’s second nature.
Thank you.
Amazing video!
Good instruction
Thanks
Red dots on a pistol are a quandary for me. I have them on my rifles and carbines and love them, but I can't get comfortable with them on my pistols. Go figure. So I've come to the conclusion that I will casually shoot red dot on a pistol, but the amount of time and money that I have spent becoming very proficient with iron sites isn't worth the endeavor for me..but then again I might stumber across 1,000 rounds of free ammo and give it a wack😅
co witness your dot so it hovers right on the top edge of your front sight. You cannot go wrong that way.
TY T.H
#1 generally. I feel if you have a good draw & presentation, the dot (circle reticle for me) should be there. However, once in a while at extension I need to tip the front down slightly.
It is because you are trying to track the dot. Don’t do that. Look at the target the entire time and as soon as the window is in front of the target the dot will be there every time.
Thanks for great content. Can you tell me what holster and hanger you are using in the video?
I use a slightly modified version of technique number three. As I push out I see my front sight slightly proud or high and then I tighten the grip of my main hand which really squeezes the pinky finger and the dot drops right in. I was an iron sight shooter on my EDC and recently went to a dot. This works so smooth and natural.
Miles ty. Great video as always. Make of your shirt?
I have found a modified version of method 3 the best for me. Bringing up the gun closer, but instead of front sight up, the whole gun is level, and then punch out. I find I can make subconscious adjustments on the punch out to make sure I'm mostly on target the whole time and fully on target by the time I'm punched out.
That’s how I shoot too! A whole lot easier way to find the dot quickly.
I’ve been running a red dot about 6 months now and you described the method That works the best for me.
i use my support hand's pointer finger and focus on pointing t where the taget is.
I'm right-handed but left eye dominant, what should I do while switching from irons to a dot?
It’s the same as for irons, when ur hands meet to present the gun, meet a little left of the central line of the body, so when the gun is punched out n lined up to ur sight, dot should be there seen by ur left eye, with BOTH eyes opened fod course. Just keep focusing ur target, practice draw to dry fire, good luck!
"A rock or something" what is this, a MRE cooking class?
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Just remember not everybody no matter the dot can find it I'm good at it but I have friends no matter the Dott can't find it practice makes perfect
I don't ever recall any training on finding your iron sights and l never heard of anyone having trouble finding them.
The flipping in any direction is not useful(weapons safety rule, never point at something you do not want to destroy)...Iron sight 'punch out' is aimed from when the pistol exits the holster(technically, aim happens as soon as any part of the pistol enters one's vision plane, as that is when one can adjust by what they can see, seeing down sights does not make it 'aimed'.) IE, the pistol rotates to near level, hands join low to mid-chest(area of a Sul hold), the front sight is in view and is punched out to the point one wants to hit, as the pistol is coming up. The rear sight(and due to its location the dot), will naturally follow to aline at some point between eye alinement(coming to eye height) and full extension(more practiced the sooner it alines). This is a combat presentation...IE one has to be able to shoot as soon as the weapon clears, all the way to 'best' shot. It goes from Minute of Man(at leveling after cleaning leather) to the exact point of wanted impact(a sighted with dot on CM or bridge of the nose), without adding time to a controlled pair draw. That assumes a skilled shooter where the difference between a controlled pair and double tap is not noticeable to an observer. The first method is 'race gun', which is a ton of rounds down range; everything has to be perfect. The hard part is 'be' perfect, not very useful for dealing with Mr Murphy. It works for dealing with static targets; one knows where they are, and they will still be there. The target is moving at an off angle, at 15-35 MPH, with limited exposure, one hand holding a line/ladder/buddy drag/in-op primary weapon, or falling down, and it is a near useless method. I would only teach this to people training for USPSA/ICORE/IDPA match shooting(or state that). CC, LEO, Mil, etc. I recommend a quick, repeatable method that works with either hand and can be effectively taught in one range trip.
Would I use the same 3 technique with a green dot?
seriously?
Still havn't found a reddot that doesn't snag, fog, and is visible in the Texas summer sun on a white target, even in grass. I'd hate to try to find it in one of the tan parking lots.
Oh, and one that doesn't add $100 or in cost to an already expensive item, in a world where food and fuel are basically unaffordable
I know...unfortunately we the people r the ones suffering 😢. But if we don’t keep practicing our 2A, those tyrants will not only keep stripping our food and jobs, but our constitutional rights and freedom FURTHER! Iron is still 2A😂, keep practicing, be smart n strong🇺🇸👍
I bought a firearm and a Vortex Defender red dot came with, I have since purchased a Strikefire and a Spitfire, Strikefire is on my S&W FPC and Spitfire is on my Marlin Cowboy Lever, worst part is all the range time i gotta spend, oh well,,,
The range is the best part though 😊
#1 iron sights
Fresh Batteries ??
Remember when its sub zero ferenhiet out batteries font last very long
Iron sights dont need batteries
Unless you are Yukon Cornelius this probably isn’t going to be a problem. When you strap on the gun check the damned dot to make sure it is on. They call it Pre Combat Checks but all the Bro Vets forgot about all the mundane stuff.
Reverse physiology.
First
1st kindergartener, yea!!
#4. Use iron sights and you won’t have a problem.
Can you use iron sights with night vision?
There it is. The dumbest thing I’ve read all day.
Boomer talk.
Just forgot all this nonsense and buy a Holosun ACSS red dot from Primary Arms and you will NEVER not find your red dot in a split second. This is a problem that’s already been solved
Sounds like you could use a lesson or two on dot acquisition yourself.
Or you could just look at the target through the entire presentation and the dot will magically appear on literally every red dot on the market. It is like magic. The magic of actually knowing how to shoot.
Can’t buy skill
It’s not nonsense but I agree the ACSS is a game changer.
Most people would be embarrassed to say they own a Chinese knockoff product, but you're bragging about it as if it's something to be proud of, lol. What's worse is that you somehow feel qualified to give advice!
Don't use one. Then you don't have to worry about it. They're great on long guns. No so much on handguns. Overrated in my opinion.
