They take constant practice to be good with them. When I was generally shooting twice a week including a weekly match, I was good with an Optima on a longslide Glock. When I had less time to devote to shooting, I found I was faster and more accurate with a 17 with iron sights.

I'm thinking of moving my dot to a G26. I took it off of the Smith when I sent it in for service and I would like to have an unlimited gun for GSSF. Not an ideal combo, but I have the G26 that I don't use, and the red dot is not on the revolver right now so I could combine than for very little money and have some fun.

One of the best things to happen for those with less than perfect vision are micro red dot sights. I've added a few on my range handguns and it makes a huge difference on quickly acquiring and hitting targets consistently. It takes practice to immediately find the dot at first presentation toward the target.

I haven't made the same transition with my carry guns preferring to keep the traditional sights and not worrying about the red dot hanging on a draw from IWB concealment.

Who else is making the move to red dots on their handguns? -- post some pics.

FNX45T/Vortex Viper-6moa, Glock VDI/Trijicon RMR-6.5moa, Walther Q5/Leupold Deltapoint Pro-7.5moa and S&W TRR8/Vortex Viper-6moa.

Is that an R8 with a custom cylinder release?

I have red dots on my carry gun G19/RMR and planned Competition gun G34/RMR. I've been using them on my Ruger Mark II Target competition for years. There is a small learning curve but the time to adapt is very short.

Both of my RMRs are Dual Illuminated versions.

I myself have never found a red dot scope where that little red dot would hold still for me.Plus I have stigmatism or however you spell it and the red dot is never round.

I'm lucky in my eyesight, plain nearsightedness, so no stars, with or without. With my glasses the dot is a tiny, bright round dot, without them it is a fuzzy ball, but not distorted.

I just enjoy seeing the scoring rings on the targets and the hits at 20 and 25 yards with my glasses on.
