I'm fairly old school on things; no I don't carry a model 10 with a drop pouch. However I am one of the few people that carry a backup gun in uniform in my area. I'm a firm believer in 129 woven kevlar over hybrid polymer blends. I still have patrol boots instead of sneakers.... And I have concealable body armor instead of the over the shirt uniform vest carrier.
However today at range qualifications blah blah blah there was extra time so I took a look at the red dot on one of the swat guy's pistol. I took a few shots. I took a few more.... I'm sold.
I was never resistant to the idea I just didn't think it made much difference. And well it doesn't make much difference but it does make some difference, particularly at distance. I'm now saving up my pennies for a red dot for my duty and gun.
Has anyone else been converted recently? Did you change because it was the "in thing" to do, or because it actually helped you, or you just thought you'd give it a try and you liked it better?
