Pistol Dots: Pros and Cons

[@tzurachienu]

It's nice to hear someone talk about the disadvantages. That's refreshingly honest.

[@jasperwilson4377]

I love the fact they show you side by side comparison ADS. That’s a huge selling point to me.

[@sjwegener]

I like how accessible Mike makes this information. He's not dumbing down the technical nature or the physics and optics, but still giving the the information in a way to is easy to consume and comprehend.

[@stenchwinslow2463]

I wish more companies were as helpful with their KZbin videos.

[@jdbartell]

I appreciate Swampfox listening to the end user and trying to make the best product.

[@jmack3586]

Showing the difference of timed shoots between red dots and irons is legit!

[@ernesttilghman2235]

Best video explanation I've seen yet on finding the dot, then pushing out.

[@user-vu1to8jd3t]

I'd never seen that Tasco bridge mount. You learn something every day. Optics have come far in a short time!

[@beenz1586]

So cool seeing how these keep getting better and better and smaller and smaller.

[@noelbongartz2439]

I liked the explanation of how to acquire the dot faster.

[@daveb1964]

What I liked about the video was The honest opinion about the pros and cons of red dots on handguns.

[@grover138]

I now have front-runner as my first red dot. Thanks, great vid!

[@desertarmor427]

I like the definitive explanation of why a red dot is better than the standard sight picture. Clarity of view.

[@BFVgnr]

Age related vision issues pushed me into dots. I can't get glasses that give me near, far AND a sight picture. But with the SF dot, I can see the dot AND see the dot. It's also way more precise than I could ever get with irons.

[@samc9212]

I've been resistant to the whole red dot on handguns thing, but Swampfox has changed my mind.

[@darylstephens7446]

like the advice about pushing the dot out to the target, so when you're at full extension you're good to go. great dry fire tips.

[@stevesanders6152]

I like how factual your vids are...not just trying to push a product on me.

[@bwidmoyer]

Great video was on the fence but after watching the pros and cons I am a believer.

[@goldbandit33]

I’m new to red dots on pistols, my favorite part was his advise to bring the dot to where your eye is for fast acquisition. I’m guilty of the muzzle swirl while searching for the dot.

[@reybautista3958]

The educational value alone is priceless! I appreciate the integrity of Swampfox!

[@njfishing4531]

Just ordered the Sentinel for my Glock 43X MOS. These videos helped a lot and influenced my decision to go with Swampfox. Keep up the great work!

[@terekv4785]

I like the sight picture comparison between irons and red dot.

[@stinky_taco]

Situational awareness and quick follow up is why I started using a red dot. Training and practice is key with any setup.

[@jefffiedler2324]

I own one if these and the clarity is superb along with it has not lost its zero yet after well over 1000+rounds

[@brentwilson3784]

Great company. Can't wait to order my first of hopefully many red dots from swamp fox. I like the part where he explains about bringing the dot to your eye rather than moving your head to find it

[@michaelchevillot4557]

Very imfomative!! The auto brightness is long overdue and a great benefit.

[@davidvargas6080]

Great video! I recently purchased a Justice and I can already see what a difference it makes in quick follow up shots.

[@randywolf8487]

Good advice on picking up the dot, will practice that in dry fire tonight

[@jonnathanrodriguez5983]

Great video on explaining dot vs iron

[@specop-tl9jd]

I like that he included pros and cons

[@TheTruthis5285]

Great video! Red dot's on handguns are a game changer. My favorite part is when he shoots the steel with irons and red dot.

[@self-awaregunship6869]

Like that you pointed out that the perceived issue with new red dot shooters. I used to never be for RDSs on guns, and trained to target focus with irons. Tried out the Sentinel on my Hellcat. Wasn’t as hard as I thought to transition. However, some friends of mine did do that whirley motion to get the dot back into focus because they are not familiar with shooting with red dots. So, I am glad to see that brought up.

[@dterry1079]

Mike is the man! Great products, great pricing, and always willing to help customers

[@Freddie206]

They had amazing deal for 4th of July Got the Sentinel auto for 219 with the shield cover Can’t wait to drop it on my SAR9X Will leave feedback once it’s dialed in 👍👍👍

[@my96dcmimpalass]

Great pics at the beginning showing the different focus sight picture!

[@OverTheEdge37]

I love the RMR dots. After getting used to using them, it has also made me more accurate with iron sights on other pistols as well. But nonetheless the red/green dot is far superior!!! No regrets!! 😎💪🏼

[@joeyj3327]

I like the side by side comparison of iron sights vs dot at 50yds. Good point.

[@gregmoxness8106]

Even though I already have a Sentinnel, the video provided new info on time to first shot, faster dot aquisition, and a bunch of other things I hadn't seen in the videos I reviewed before buying my first Sentinnel. Well done!

[@darylokayama9534]

Thank you for the video! The part about drawing to the eye was most helpful.

[@timothymckenna8031]

Love the tip on seeing the red dot

[@brianstevens8867]

Very educational on the pros and cons of dot vs iron. Love the old giant dot from 10 years ago!!

[@dallasjr750]

Not to focus just on the front sight. Great advice!

[@scottpyykola7727]

I never did well with the whole "front sight" thing, my eyes were always on the target. The pistol dot optics have been a game changer for me, and so glad I found Swamp Fox I don't see buying any other brand

[@jethrotull6872]

Good tips on how to find the dot.

[@jamesmerritt114]

Good video. Goes over cons as well as pros.

[@joeg1701]

Looking to purchase my first pistol red dot, really helpful to go through pros and cons

[@hestons]

I'm older I like the dot. I really like the side shield. I've got the liberty now and really like it. Great video by the way

[@andrewriehle9874]

I like the sight comparison at 50 yards. Also like the speed difference between irons and dot.

[@fizzgigftw1857]

I've always wanted to try a red dot on a pistol, thanks for all the info!

[@jakarahoward7212]

I like having the ability to have clearer sight picture at longer distances.

[@josephvincent3959]

Just got my Swampfox red dot. Excited to see what it does for my training!

[@joetori8356]

Another great video! I found the section on rapid acquisition of the red dot very helpful.

[@nathangarner1574]

Running the Sentinel and 1x8 LPVO. Love the veterans discount

[@dougd5527]

Great video! I’m new to red dots and appreciate the information.

[@jayp.8461]

Love the liberty on my EDC. Knowing it will be ready when I need it, awesome.

[@914jbm]

Great product. Gotta love the dot sight!

[@BlackwaterMT]

Like the sight picture through the Dot sights

[@duaneo3290]

More great advice from Mike. A great explanation of dot sights.

[@VincePoppaBear]

I am going to order the Sentinel for the H&K VP9 OR-B my wife just bought for my Christmas present. Going to be a great setup!

[@seanmac5112]

My favorite part was at 12:07. J/k, love the pro-con video and your kick ass optics!

[@ghost483]

I'd much rather be 'target-focused' than 'front-sight' focused! Glad I made the move to red dots.

[@malibujoe01]

Your videos are super informative. Thank you!

[@nickl3872]

Thank you , especially for the shooting with dot tips and tricks

[@K9Handler1977]

I am glad I discovered Swamp Fox! Good red dot for a great price…they take care of leos too!

[@TheGary1171]

I retired after 35 years as a cop. Nine years on SWAT. My comment is I am carrying a CCW for the protection of my self and family. Any encounter I may have will probably be 3 to 7 feet, not yards. I won't have the time, or distance, to locate a red dot sight. As a citizen now, not a cop, taking a shot at 7 yards or farther may put me in a jackpot, because I will have to show an immediate threat to justify taking a shot at that distance. As an example, being robbed and the suspect is running away. I am no longer in danger and taking a shot at the suspect as he is running away will get me a quick trip to the county bed and breakfast. My personal opinion is to keep the iron sights for CCW.

[@michaellaster6461]

Wonderful vid. Answered a lot of questions for me.

[@kylelefler6732]

Great product! Love the Sentinel red dot with auto brightness. It makes me feel like I get the perfect shot every time

[@tammybier8263]

I like these videos because they are very informative!

[@timothystewart2649]

Love the Swampfox optics.

[@jordanribota2616]

Great customer service!

[@jasonn9086]

I think that some things just need to be experienced to make a decision, and RDS on pistols is one of them.

[@StarGazinTom]

Excellent info. I'm running a Sentinel on my Hellcat and recently swapped out the iron sights. Great products. Rock-solid.

[@Kevin-uk6ym]

Pretty good Info on first time dot usage and learning how to train yourself to get your dot on target sight picture must faster

[@Dsnow77846]

These look so clean

[@chrisrodgers9856]

Love the accuracy provided by a rmr composed to iron sights

[@AGC88ify]

Great video. Need to adjust to higher sights when shooting

[@MrRDJEEP]

Dots really help with my vision of sight consenation.

[@mrshort2379]

great video, thank you for the lesson on red dot sight

[@dangurtler7177]

You should include a link to your website in narrative. That will make it easier for us to check out the sights you offer in more detail without doing a search.

[@akjake7]

I've got the Justice on my ARs sitting on Hostile engagement mounts with the Arrowhead and the Sentinel on my Hellcat with the Ironside shield. I love them all!

[@craigweaver241]

Great site with good visual at range.

[@JP-yt3nk]

Love that Arrowhead 1-10x green moa I just got. If I get a red dot for the handy, it's gonna be one of these, no doubt.

[@kevinschultz1860]

Again another great explanation!!!

[@brandonlindquist2498]

I have 2 Justice red dots and a Liberty on my glocks and love them! Always reliable. Need a Sentinel on my Hellcat OSP to top it off.

[@sentraselify]

Very informative and informational video thank you!

[@rawmail102171]

Aha! Bring the dot up to your eyes and close to your face to quickly find the dot. Very helpful.

[@Typicalpnwguy]

Great indepth video of both sides

[@dylanholley4055]

I love the beginning

[@padfunder]

Very good explanation 👏

[@bruceionno6321]

My Green, Auto Sentinel Christmas present is on its way from Optics Planet. Can’t wait to mount & zero. Next, the all-important holster - testing a Vedder hybrid with the horsehair back and red-dot cut out of the index front side. Really like the promise of improved situational awareness borne from a two-eyed, target-focused sight picture. Have been practicing presentation so that my sights are there when the gun comes up and out. I expect that this green dot optic will change everything…

[@seandonovan7991]

Nice introduction!!

[@Blktailhunter53]

Great video. The trouble I’m having is I am right handed and left eye dominate. I’m finding it hard to pick up the dot without over exaggerating and pushing the gun father to the than i usually would.

[@Kangol312]

Easy fix. Stick to irons

[@Tombo1787]

Love the Ironsides

[@zackgreer495]

Mike is a BOSS! Thanks for the information!

[@billbeam8069]

Good video Mike. Merry Christmas

[@alxjmrk]

My favorite part is the fact that now I need to find a new slide that I can put this on

[@1fishermatt]

New to pistol optics. They seem great

[@okiinu]

Great video, clear explanations...

[@justinweeks4928]

Can't wait to pick one of these up!

[@sergioruiz6830]

Great video, very informative
