A close up shot of the sights and dots would be a plus.

I had a hell of a time shooting may M18 after switching from Glock. I love the feel of the M18, way better than the Glock (for my hands), but took lots of rounds through the M18 to go from terrible to semi-ok!🙂

You're absolutely right, I had to figure this out with my older HK hammer fired guns, it's more of a "deep hold" with the sights. I had to adjust. They are now my favorite guns to shoot. Every platform is going to have it's quirks. Just have to work with it and experiment and once you get the fundamentals down, you can divert a bit to refine things.

Man I really appreciate this video. I thought I was a decent shooter until I shot my m18. Everything went low left. Thank you
@stephenreynolds81359 ай бұрын
Thank you so much. They don’t allow the older troops like myself to properly train out the habits of the M9. So the M18 was rough. This helped a bunch.

It's the same with my Ruger P series, it has combat sights on it as well, once I figured that out I tacked everything down!!

First serious use was a P89, was thinking, what's he talking about, shooting the M9 made me feel a little silly when I had to, was just that different.

Sights from factory are generally zeroed at 25 yards.... thats why your shooting slightly low at 3 yards, height over bore

I'm anticipating all the so called "Firearm Experts" will show up and complain. This is something that worked for me, your mileage may vary.. So, instead of typing and complaining, make your own video and show me your rebuttal.

Can you run the test with different grain weights. I know there were problems withe the M9 sights when the army changed grain weights.

For me my M18 hits to the right I'm going to guess its the equal light causing that and for the commercial M18 the sights are slightly different

The m17 shoots phenomenal The M18 on the other hand shoots like shit why any of you prefer this over anything else that’s pretty much on market is beyond me Glock FN S&W all of them she way smoother the way this one recoils you might as well have a micro compact the XL even shoot better than I love my M 17 I love my XL I got rid of my M 18 absolutely horrible

I explain that starting at 2:59 They are combat sights, not percision sights. If you treat them the same, you will not be accurate.
