It was a lot of fun, it was my first time using a red dot and I struggled with the switch from my iron sights and finding that dancing red dot when under a 10 second time crunch.

So many great people, it restores my faith in the species.

Dry practice what you learned.  It seems silly at first, but it works!


Red Dots: Work on steady hold factors and grip such that when you push out to the target your sights are aligned and at eye level.  If your iron sights are aligned and your pistol is up to eye level, the red dot will magically appear.
Old Guy:  Do it long enough and you get really good at it.

Full Distance:  Red Bluff:  What year was that?
Pistoleer™:  Hat Creek:  Three Twenty One

Make yourselves good scouts and good rifle shots in order to protect the women and children of your country if it should ever become necessary.

I learned a lot over the weekend.
The fundamentals work.
Getting NPoA quickly is critical.

I need to practice revolver reloads, and setting them up properly is tantamount.

As a precision firearm, my P85 is exactly what it was designed to be: a reliable brick of a duty pistol.
