This is an excellent video. I switched to a red dot in the past year and everything you speak about here is EXACTLY what I have experienced. Great info.

[@ecalzo]

Yup i did the same now and it is still a superlative video

[@SONofLIBERTY]

Finally my boy got his own Field Notes. Great job Scott.

[@sightlinestrategies]

Scott is one of the best. Glad he got to do a field note.

[@MrRebar15]

Bravo, great tips, thank-you for taking the time to show us. God Bless.

[@billplunkett8989]

Great video Scott! Liked all the info you have out!!

[@ALauFirearmsTraining]

Jedi is prob one of the best instructors I've seen, can't wait to train with him.

[@jimsmall3864]

great presentation, it makes sense and is a valid point. Very well done

[@Humonic]

Been waiting for this one!

[@scdave100]

Very nice Scott!

[@BTeezy82]

Very well put

[@CanikFan]

Just got a sig p365XL & took it out to try my first shooting with a red dot. I haven’t made up my mind yet on if I like it or will go back to iron sights yet. My shoot grouping was solid but I was slight of center to the left. I’m not blaming the red dot as much as I blame not going out shooting over the last year because I didn’t want to pay the crazy prices for ammo. But the red dot, being this was my first time definitely made it a different shooting experience. But that just means I need to get more practice in with it!

[@kurtismeinhardt68]

Listened to him on a podcast a while ago. Seems like a really squared away dude and super down to earth. Good stuff Safariland!

[@SONofLIBERTY]

he his. One of the most involved instructors I've EVER trained with in 10years

[@shanef2680]

If you ever get a chance to train with him, do it. Its totally worth it

[@reeceh1215]

What's the podcast?

[@mastermattk]

I sold my red dot setup years ago. Didn't need it. Now since everyone's playing red dots, I'm getting back into it. Although a good pair of HD XR iron sights do the same job. Target oriented was always my #1 and can be done with irons.

[@Flanntastic1]

Great stuff

[@PrimaryAndSecondary]

Great stuff Soctt!

[@Disirregardless]

Craig, Petty, Jedi, Blowers, Pressburg. . . Oh man the Surefire Studs calendar this year is gonna be HOTTT.

[@steveg3593]

AGREED 100%

[@middleton155]

Pretty much nailed it.

[@spacemonkey0077]

Thanks for the video. Interesting premise to set forth.

[@silverrider918]

Nice vid. I don’t have a dot on my pistols because of cost v benefit, for now. We’ll see what the future holds.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

ADE optics on ebay. $60 shipped. If you don't want to buy a slide, for $15 you can buy a mount that replaces the rear sight. Very cheap way to get in the game. It is a no-brainer if you have more than one handgun.

[@Kyle-yw2hw]

Got my HK USP down at the gunsmith getting milled for my RMR 😁

[@Turtl-ss4lj]

My man Ivan from kit badger at 37 seconds!

[@checkmateholloquin7640]

Smart guy

[@nightfury6836]

Uh... 😕 I don’t know bro. I think I’ll keep my batteries in my cellphones & flashlights!! There are already enough things that can go wrong with a pistol. IF I live long enough to be old (about 15 yrs from now) THEN I’ll worry about this shit BUT we’ll probably have lasers by then anyway. HEY!!! Where’s my Aimpoint sighted AR!?!? 👴🏾

[@gabbyesthra8823]

Got my gun this morning from expansion2 on wickr glock19 gen 5.fired this morning and it was fine..

[@johnmarkharris]

Should I co-witness irons?

[@slappylink]

I saw this comment and felt like replying. This is a personal opinion, so just take it for what it is! No, you shouldn't co-witness irons (in my opinion). Zero your pistol dot at the distance you want (10-25 yds) to where you can "float" the dot above your irons. This way you effectively have a lower-third style sight picture with your irons. When you are shooting the dot, the irons will not obscure your sight picture; if you need to shoot your irons (for whatever reason) your front sight is not obscured by the dot (if it's still on) and you have the rest of the window to draw your eyes to the irons. This is just what I have found to work shooting red dots. My irons don't distract me from the dot, and I know they are there if I need them.

[@ecalzo]

i am on the same page of Matt Link i won't co-witness them

[@JohnBlaze505]

2:27 Great example of a janky draw lol

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

I think all RedDot companies should have a green option. Green is the easiest to see for the human eye and when ya start getting old and you're wearing glasses, easier/clearer is always better.

[@kimchan2108]

I used it in a bus for special trips

[@spearageddon3279]

The truth is .... "it's your janky draw." 🤣😂🤣👍👍 ... truth hurts man! 😏

[@maxximus2012]

Michael Knowles Show

[@brianj5770]

maxximus2012 hahaha! That is the same intro music. Good observation!

[@YNTGUNS]

I shoot better with a red dot for sure.

[@Glockshooter09]

Who the hell is this guy? Stick to legit instructors proven in combat not some youtube wanna be

[@ryant5652]

🤦🏾‍♂️

[@JA-oo9qp]

😂🤡 Keep larping

[@wintersoldier4335]

You know I used to want to train with scott But It seems hes getting too cocky and making smart ass comments to students ( your janky draw, ill let you come on this journey?) YT going to these firearms trainers heads
