Red Dots.. I'm behind the curve...

[Tyler Durden]

Were they in a gunfight first then took the class?

Or did they take the class first then get in a gunfight?

Or were these just plain Joe Citizen Sixpacks

Or cops?

[TAB]

Or did the other guy have a gun.  Or a weapon of any kind?  60 over 30 years still sounds high to me for the public.

Sorry, santahog I didn't mean to derail your thread.

Have you tried some crimson trace laser grips yet?

I use them for bowling pin matches.

They are awesome!   

I am assuming you have heard of the Bindon Aiming Concept, where you shoot with both eyes open, and your brain superimposes the two images.

It's not "my" thread.. I'm just chatting like everybody else..
I have a set of CT for the 1911. I pulled them off of a Kimber that I traded for the rifle I was talking about, (with the Red Dot on it). I still haven't put them on the new 1911. I've never trained with the CT, per se. I'm not convinced that they need to come on every time I get a grip on it. If the situation were to arise that they would work against me, well, I'd rather have to think to turn them on than turn them off..
The Red Dot on the rifle is just a $40 sight with no magnification.
The rifle does have a light/laser on it too, btw.. I a few more of those for the rest of the long guns too, plus a piece of rail to mount on the 12 ga. Never "finished".. Not yet, anyway..

I read a Gun Tests article about laser sights, CT is supposed to have an on/off switch IIRC, but it is an SOB to manipulate it.
That seems to be a fairly common complaint with all pistol lasers, either to small and difficult, or to large and snags.

LaserMAX for the Glock is a guide rod laser.  A replacement take down lever is the on/off switch.  Push it off center and it is on...back to center for off.  Your trigger finger is in position to activate it where it is extended before you put it on the trigger.

Turning it back off will take your off hand.

Only problem I have had with one is that in a soft holster, the SmartCarry, to be exact, it is possible to turn the Laser on by pressure against the holster.

That's the "Large and snags" category.

Well, the Laser doesn't make the Glock any larger than it already was and the take down lever was there before...so the addition of the laser did noting to get it into that category.

But, yes, the take down lever on a standard Glock will snag on a poorly made holster.
