[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3389189, member: 5412"] I've pretty much converted to most handguns and rimfire rifles with red dots. We had a thread about them recently about which dot was the best with a lot of great discussion. The thing Colin and others had about a new shooter with a red dot is correct. Its an exercise in personal training to be able to use them with reliability. Iron sights are much closer to the bore axis than dot sights are so it requires a different grip at the presentation to acquire the dot that is higher above the bore. New dot owners do have issues acquiring the dot. It feels uncomfortable at first because you have to roll the muzzle down vs your irons grip. Dry fire practice at the house will bring on the right sight picture at the draw. Once you get it down, its not something that will stay with you forever. Practice, practice, practice. Just an FYI the fastest competition shooters in the open class of USPSA typically run dots on their multi thousand dollar pistols. [/QUOTE]
