Let's See Those Handgun Optics!

[Darth]

Shot my USP for the first time today. Had a blast. Then put this on my S&W victory:



My first optic on a handgun. I love that Victory. It's an awesome plinker. I felt it deserved this.

What have you got? Any optic, post them up!

 

[squib]

I'm jealous of your pistol

Or please, let's not..

 

[MilesTeg]

Oh sure rub it in. Still waiting on the screws to mount mine.

I swear I was going to tape an empty toilet paper roll on my SP101 until you posted this.
You beat me to it.

 

[MilesTeg]

So sad.

What's the issue?

 

[nortatoga]

My first pistol a Ruger Single Six Convertible Hunter model 7.5" barrel! Cheap BSA red-dot

On the bottom Browning Buckmark Contour 7.25" barrel, I got this right after the Un-Safe Act passed when they were trying to ban anything with more then a 7rd mag! But I have no regrets about buying it as it is a really great shooter!! Bushnell Trophy red/green dot.

S&W 617

What's the issue?

The machines forgot to send the proper screws. He only sent the ones for the cover.

Transformers logo?? I thought you were more mature.. Not like these almost 30 year olds living with their parents, wanting guns from a comic book guy or a max payme movie or whatever they are..

That's a vortex viper.

Close it's a Spartan theme. And that's a sore subject. Try moving back in with your parents with a child and a pregnant wife. I'll give you a hint it's not fun.

I knoooooow it was a Spartan symbol lol and my pokery was to Darth with his Max payne this and max payne that every other sentence. As for your situation, I definitely feel for you but it's only temporary and you've been on your own til this situation arose, so very different circumstances you'll get through it think temporary only temporary

My second pistol a Ruger Mark II. I put a B-square scope mount on it (drill less) ugly as hell but it worked. Once I got the Browning Buckmark I removed it and shoot this pistol with the open sights!

 

[Edwardteach72]

When I first was seeing if I liked the idea of a red dot for a handgun.

CZ P-07 with a Springer dovetail mount for a Burris Fast Fire 3 (only thing on this set up i would recommend for carry would the the P-07) ***edit***
There is nothing wrong with the Springer mount in its construction or how well it works, it is just way to tall and does not allow for back up irons like milling the slide does that is the only reason why I won't recommend it for carry


Loved the concept hated the cheap route so upgraded
Milled slide and an RMR RM07

 

[S&W Fan]

My hunting rig with a nothing fancy red dot that gets the job done.

Those Browning Buckmark Contour's feel so good to hold!

Those Browning Buckmark Contour's feel so good to hold!

Yes they do. I love how accurate this gun shoots and feels in the hand.

Nice pair of 12ga pistols S&W fan

I just got my screws in today and mounted the optic, but didn't have time to fire off any rounds. First impression is there's going to be one hell of a learning curve. I'm so use to focusing on the front sight and not focusing on the target. I think this is so predominant in my whooping because I still feel like a novice that I might have an obsession with it. The red dot is going to change all of that. Just pointing it around the house I found if I focused on the dot, the dot would get fuzzy and the target would completely was out. But I did find if I kept both eyes open and focused on my target and let the dot come to it seemed more natural. I'm pretty curious now to get some firing tike around it.

I'm not too sure on a pistol but I think you are just supposed to focus on the target only. At least that was what I was taught at close distances with a rifle.

I was always told focus on the front sight and not your target and rifle was the opposite.

Me too for distance and iron sights.

So that my issue I have to relearn when I present the pistol my focus plane. It might be a non issue once i send a few rounds down range. But it is a learning curve I feel is big enough that I should state it to anyone who is curious.

I recently started shooting with both eyes open and focusing on the target only. You are correct. It's something to learn. I still have to kick myself sometimes.

If that is your style a red dot I think will make you faster and more efficient. That's a novices opinion though. If I do like it I plan on putting one on my carry gun.
