Decided to give a budget dot a try and picked up a Gideon omega (SRO we have at home) for my MK4 22/45. Have 500 thru it and it has performed quite. I went with the green single dot model (my eyes like green better than red) for a non defensive range use optic on a 22LR pistol it has done everything I have asked it to without a complaint. I like it so much I think I will get another one for my walther range gun and see it holds up on a 9mm reciprocating slide pistol. I would not feel confident in using it for a conceal carry or defensive use handgun, but for a range toy it is quite excellent.

So it was not exactly today, but my latest treasure is NOT a firearm, but a 1928 Franklin Aviator Standard Coupe, Model 12A. It was my Dad's first Franklin and I inherited it from his collection. Got a minor fuel issue I'm resolving right now, but hopefully in a day or two it will be up and running. Might try to get it down to the Mohican Model A Ford Club annual car show in Wampsville this weekend if successful. It's partially restored, fully road worthy, and a hoot to drive.

Upgraded my EDC VPSK optic from the Vortex. Holosun SCS VP9. Solar powered , 3 different reticles in green. Made specifically for the VP9 platform with the factory milled slide. Mounts directly with no adapter plate. Also,it lower 1/3 co-witnesses with my existing factory sites. Eventually, I will upgrade its full size big brother as well.

Got a Ruger ready dot for my P365 tac-ops. Seems like a very interesting concept, no batteries as it utilizes a fiber optic instead. Except in total darkness (where you would use night sights) it is as bright as any other read dot. Interesting concept that it is a non adjustable red dot meant for 7-25 yard shooting on a man size target. Looking forward to trying it out once I get some free time. If I can make decent hits on target as Ruger says, then it will be worth the $78 price I paid on Amazon for it. Added plus that it cowitnesses with stock height sights.

No 200 miles round trip in the truck to visit my great aunt. She loves my son though. My dad went along. Gave us her Christmas decorations and an almost new twin mattress for the baby.


Painting and construction on the list for tomorrow. Gotta use those FMLA days
