An attempt to become a Social Influencer, and demean more people with a label. Congrats in spending the time, myself can and will do other things to occupy time.

Ps I guess this sums it up as leaving others do as they see fit, there are those thats got to hate.. xxxxxx Just because.

My only beef with pistol dots was their horrendous unreliability in the early go. Every weekend my buddies would be hunched over their pistols trying to figure out where the little red dot went or heading to Ace Hardware to get different screws to make their plate system work.

Now I almost never see this unless a battery croaks. And direct mount dots are massively better at sitting low and not falling off.

If you mean "how do I know what the 101st would have used at Bastogne", let me just say that the only airborne division in the US Army went into Afghanistan more than two decades ago with M4s with optics on top. Universally.

Is true!
And when mountains and valleys come to my little home-I’ll get right on that red dot thing…

I thought it was funny... Gun Amish

I have been running a Holosun 407K on my HD gun (Glock 30) for over a year now. Yesterday, I made the decision to remove the red dot and went back to iron sight (Trijicon HD).

My reason for not running a red dot on my HD weapon is because, I feel that in a HD situation, the way you react and how fast you react is very important, and I feel that in a HD situation, 90% of the time, it will be a point and shoot scenario, intruder is probably within 5-10 feet, meaning a red dot will be pretty useless in my opinion.

I feel that a red dot is very useful for target practice and competition shooting, etc., but I feel like if my life is in danger, I will probably not have the time or the mindset to place the red dot on the target, instead, I will be pointing and shooting.

Some of you might be reading this and think I am a fool, but I feel like a red dot for a HD gun will just slow me down more. Yes, practice makes perfect, but I still cannot see the benefit of using a red dot for HD for a target that will be 5-10 feet away. Am I in the minority here or do we have others on here that share the same thought as me? Don't get me wrong, I still have red dot on my other range toys, I just feel that it's not needed for my HD gun.

Makes sense to me!

Seeing how I live amongst the Amish and Mennonites, and both are my neighbors, I got a chuckle out of it, and Id be willing to bet some of them would get chuckle out of it too.

And don't be fooled because they are Amish, you'd be surprised at some of the hardware some of them have, especially when it comes to hunting. They take the old "If its brown, its down!" thing very serious.

Yeah... "Gun Amish" is really a compliment, eh?

He's already a social media star. That's a video from his own defensive shooting conference.

Sorry, I have never seen him compete.


Ps I guess for those influenced……enjoy .

And again, the large scale adoption by LE across the country argues significantly that this is wrong.

Dots are the Strip Mall Tae Kwan Do of the 2020s.
Both will get you killed in real life.

Certain people will always make money selling a fantasy to those prone to living in a fantasy world.

Shocking, I know. Next you'll be surprised to hear that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with competition shooting.

 

[BBMW]

Well, the Amish are known for their public distain for technology. They're not shy about it, and don't consider it a negative. So using the term "Amish" as a modifier in a particular context, to denote someone who has a distain for a newer technology in that context, can't really be seen as a slur against "real" Amish.

Yeah... "Gun Amish" is really a compliment, eh?

Actually, I care less in what you think. I have owned a Security Agency, Gun Shop, Indoor and Outdoor Ranges. But this is not about me.


Enjoy your impact on others that are looking to be influenced, myself Nope.

Not trying to argue, but just pointing out that lasers were a trend that many LE agencies adopted in the early 2000s (I think), but that trend went away pretty quickly.

As for optics, I do believe it's a technology that is going to stay.

As an observation, I think younger people (or people of all ages, but not years of pistol experience) adapt easier to optics vs long time iron sight trained shooters.

In the LE world, higher qualification scores with optics would lend to the argument that optics are an effective tool. Training in the use of optics is the key.

I don't understand what you're referencing. I'm not the guy in that video. If he offended you, he can be reached at Active Self Protection on social media or youtube where he has over 3 million followers.

Is that the Active Self Protection guy? Didn't recognize him.
I used to watch ASP all the time, but stopped for about a year, then started watching ASP again. The guy had the crazy hair and beard look, which threw me off.
