A red dot on a pistol is not necessarily a good idea, but that doesn’t mean a dot is only then an accessory for recreational purposes. Given that one of its benefits is a reduced marksmanship learning curve, maybe we should consider it as a training aid.
It pains me to admit it, but putting a red dot on a pistol isn’t for everybody or for every pistol. There are undeniable advantages to pistol mounted optics, but those advantages come with conditions that may make putting one on a pistol a nonstarter.
Owning a handgun for personal protection doesn’t mean one is adequately prepared to use it for that purpose. Just like owning a car doesn’t mean one is ready to start driving it. There is some learning and skill development that should take place first.
The CZ Shadow 2 and the Trijicon SRO have now sent around 1,000 rounds down range. That means it’s time to see how both the USPSA Carry Optics setup and my opinion of it have evolved since their initial review.
