I don't see a purpose for having irons on an optic pistol. I'm not removing the irons it already has, but the optic battery lasts for years and I can change it and emergency situations I'm aiming more by muscle memory. And in emergency situations my optic is probably working.
How can you tell if you have a wandering zero without the reference point an iron sight gives you? Also, I managed to win my CO match in USPSA halfway through when my optic died using my back up irons. No way in hell I could have done that using "muscle memory", and if you think defensive situations only require muscle memory, why have a dot in the first place? Literally Black person tier reasoning on your part.
You're not wrong, but I'm personally not interested. I have big astigmatism sights with a crosshair for my shitty eyes because I need to be able to aim without glasses.
I just don't like glock sights and if I'm going to replace them I might as well replace them with optic-height ones
My real mistake is I don't have a mounted flashlight for my pistol yet.
I really want an optic for my Glock but I can’t decide if I should wait for the RMRHD to come back in stock or just get a regular RMR. I have been waiting for months and I feel like as soon as I cave and buy an old RMR the HD will magically become available.
Unironically a skill issue, stock triggers are fine outside of bullseye shooting or top level competition. Gen 5 triggers aren't even bad, best ones Glocks made.
call me when they release a version with a proper full size grip for actual men
I'm 6'4 with L sized hands and it's fine, id buy it if you're 6'8 or something but then that's a you thing

Recommend the tlr-1HL highly fwiw, I considered streamlights a starter brand that I'd eventually replace with surefire but they just werk
If instead of the actual G19 we got, they made something like a G43x with the option of 10 or 15 round OEM magazines, the option of a manual safety (for military contracts), and an optics ready slide, they wouldn't have needed to make the actual G19 or G26.
That would be Glock perfection.
I'm a girth maxxer personally, I shoot thicky double stacks noticeably better than skinny single stacks and they're more comfy when shooting
Thats just the nature of business, you have to keep releasing something new to remain relevant even if you've already made everything. Hence, changeable backstraps and adding finger grooves and later removing finger grooves and changing the grip texture and other window dressing tweaks over the last 40 years.
Pretty much agree. I'm a weirdo so I put a SCD on mine and love it. Best of both worlds of striker fired and DA/SA IMO. Experimenting with a radian ramjet/afterburner but that's definitely a questionable addition, it does really reduce recoil though which is neat. It cuts into the margin of reliability though, don't think it'd be as resistant to malfunctions induced by poor maintenance combined with lower powered ammo for instance.

I have a Gen 3 G19, and I installed a NY2 spring in it. I figure if I ever end up in a situation where someone somehow manages to take my gun away from me, I might as well set it up so they will have a difficult time shooting me with my own weapon.
Obviously, this plan might not work so well if a cop takes my gun, but in that case, I might as well just calm down and let it happen.
hehe, no.
>trijicon
just need an x300 and it's good to go
if you have babby hands, maybe

This thread reminds me that I ordered optic height sights from ameriglo almost a month ago and they still haven’t shipped.

On a rifle, sure.
Its just a thing people get conned into buying

What optic were you using?

I went with the regular RMR RM01. The additional price on the HD didn't seem worth it for the upgrades and I believe it's slightly heavier.
Yes, aside from what is arguably the most important part of the firearm (the trigger) being modeled after Spongebob himself, sure.

that's not a VP9 though

you can change the grip dummy. It comes with different grip panels to try.
you can swap the entire grip? backstrap alone ain’t enough
funny typo, friend, but yeah, the P30 is the best cost friendly 9mm handgun on the market.
I mean its ok.
Remove those gay iron sights and it would
>bro I need giant catch points to see the dot
>skill issue
its not an M&P tho
>so perfect that they make 100 different ones and redesign all of them every 5 years

No.
>less reliable
>cheaply made (more so than a glock even)
>higher bore axis for no reason
>nowhere near as streamlined and easy to clean/work on
Yeah. No.
