How would training with a red dot be any different than training without one? Just do it.

You must not own a red dot. Haha

I own several, it's like cheating, I'm a fan.

My cats frequently get red dot training, right here at home...

I'll be putting one on next year, along with other specialty classes.

Tom at one chance tactical solutions uses an RDS pistol, but his classes are usually run for irons. If you contact him he may set something up.

You have to turn it on first.

There is very little differance in any of the fundamentals between irons and optics. Optics just make things easier/faster. Learn to shoot with irons. Use optics only after you understand their limitations and benifits.

Gotta have optics:

Modern Samurai Project has a 2 day RDS Pistol Course on May 4-5 in Burlington, WA.

Red dot sights have made iron sights irrelevant.

CLASSES

 

[bbbass]

Why would anyone need a class for red dot equipped handguns? I thought that their installation solved all problems and all one needs to do is point and shoot!!!

 

[Edward Hull]

Quite right, no NEED for a class, but if you are going to take a class, might as well take one that is focused on the equipment you have smartly chosen to arm yourself with.

There is no training involved with a red dot .
Go to the range site it in at the distance you want .done .
BUT IF YOU ARE USING A RED DOT ON YOUR SELF DEFENSE PISTOL.MMMMMM.
shall I say your a full .
Learn to use real sites.
I tried a red dot on my pistol .they are different.
Great for competition.
But if my life depended on it .nope not my idea of a defense gun.
And I own a $#!+ Load of red dots .they are all on my AR Rifles and i have back up sites on all those guns

LMAO all you want .you asked for info I gave it to you .
How many Cops do you see using red dots on there pistols.
There fine for a AR .
Grab the RIFLE turn it on .
But for a hand gun .
My opinion is no .
I put a vortex viper on my Glock 22 .
Went to the range shot 200 rounds .
WENT HOME AND TOOK IT OFF .
LOL IT SITS .in my closet to this day.

 

[EPS]

I won't argue with you about this any good self defense pistol instructor is going to tell you the same thing . don't depend on electric sites.
Lazer or red dot .

Here's a cop and instructor that advocates using a MRDS on a pistol.
And here's another.
And here's another.
And here's one more.
Sounds like Cerberus has atleast one.

I respect your opinion that these optics don't have a legitimate place on a duty or carry pistol.
I think you are missing out on some very tangible benefits and so do many others.
