Karl thanks for your dedication to your art and your ability to convey this info to us. This is a good one.

Thanks for watching!

If you have two good eyes, you can try blacking them out with electrical tape, or a black bottle cap or whatever works (try to stay off the glass if possible). Your aiming eye sees the dot in an opaque black void, and your other eye sees down range as your brain puts the images together. It's tricky, if you can control which eye is more dominant at a time, it's a great idea. I have my dot set on three. I can put the dot on a lamp post at night then put it directly on the blazing lamp bulb just the same. Nothing can out-shine the dot because the eye viewing the sight only sees black contrast behind it. May not be for everyone but I've found helpful for me... AND I can leave my dot on 3 for months at a time as it's such a dim setting. Always on...

I will say it's easy to screw up parallax or cross your eyes that way but I don't really use mine as a primary optic or precision because it piggy-backs a 4-12x scope. It works better on smaller-framed red dot sights as they don't obstruct your off eye as much and it's easier to focus on the correct depth of field quickly.

Btw, that lamp post is in our yard and we don't have visible neighbors. The rifle is also clear.

Thank you. This has been my biggest concern with my agency switching to red dots next month. Our swing shift works from 3pm to 1am and the lighting is very different at the beginning of the shift compared to the end of the shift.

Any time!

Thanks

Thanks for watching!

My pleasure!

You bet

You’re safe

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like them!

That would suck… I agree, that is a stupid idea

Thanks for watching, TR

Sorry, I took ALL the RMRs and my SRO off my pistols. I run the Vulcan reticle on ALL my pistols and currently it is only available in Holosun optics. I am hoping Trijicon will offer something similar soon, as the SOF guys really want it in a USA made optic.

As a vegan and an atheist and as someone who associates with Democratic ideals and as someone who looks down his nose at Republicans.... it was simply a matter of time before I took my viewership elsewhere.

🤣🤣✊🏼💋

LOL! I bet it's an old SGTMAJ trick to know if everyone is paying attention.

Zero actual difference scientifically. It comes down to personal preference

@@TacticalRifleman In your experience, is the red dot easier to pick up when you turn your light on or the green? Thanks for the info

Depends on background and several other factors... example: in a field of tall green grass, Red would show up faster. Again, it mostly comes down to personal preference.

You had a revolver malfunction on you?

@@altruisticscoundrel yeah it happens. If you shoot too much 357 I’ve had them lock at the forcing come and cylinder

Karl likes to talk. 25min is his thumbnail. We dont need him to make a 25min video that will last 2hrs.

!!!!!! well now !!! He said, turn the dot UP !!!!!!!!

@@PaulAmerican I’ve never read a more accurate statement!!!

No difference to me... I have both red and green EOTechs and they are both great

We tried them… they distract

@@TacticalRifleman this is a good channel.

@@TacticalRifleman this is a good channel.

We use UtM conversion barrels

😂👍👍

That makes it an SHort Barreled Rifle; which will always be more accurate

@@TacticalRifleman Yes (well kind of, legally depends on the country) but are there downsides to it, especially in regards to speed (probably could go faster if there was a spring and the stock would open as soon it clears the holster which leads to other things that may or may not be problematic) ? There are probably reasons why this hasn`t been done yet, especially by goverment agencies although people have the tendency to not shoot good with a pistol. Thanks for your time. Greedings from germany.

I turn the auto brightness off

Situation dictates what type of gear to run. Let them choose

I don’t use the NV switch, but it is valuable IF you are going to mount a PVS-14 actually on your rifle. You can shoot cross-eye dominant, just bring the pistol up in front of your dominant eye

I prefer an EOTECH

Thank you sir!

Zero at max range you see yourself shooting the pistol. If you zero at 25 you will be off at 50 meters... if you zero at 50 meters, you will also be on at 10 & 25 meters

@@TacticalRifleman ok that makes sence, ive not been a red dot guy but im seeing its use here. Thank you!

I wouldn't mill a stock slide... too easy to screw up. Buy a different slide or a different pistol that is already set up for Optic

I do not. THey make good belts, but I currently run a KlikBelt

Thanks Karl

This isn't a combat situation. He's talking about edc/home defense. You're stirring an empty pot. You're not geared nor will you have the time to throw on more than -maybe- a rig or carrier. Personally, I'll grab the pistol and start moving. A pistol is commonly kept next to the bed. Auto brightness can be a pain, another instance where they screw up is when you're in a dark area looking out into a bright area. Good luck finding that dot. Trijicon's RMR seems to somehow look ahead as well as up. It certainly performs leagues better than the Holosun units with auto brightness.

He also mentions being out in public possibly at night or in a theater.

@@sstormwolf Um, he literally talks about using a pistol at ranges of 90 yards, on "the battlefield".

Sorry brother, but I won’t apologize for being PRO 2nd Amendment. I do not like any career politicians, as all are dirty. However, the current administration is directly and openly against the 2nd Amendment. Your choice. Thanks for watching. TR

@@TacticalRifleman A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. You're well armed, but completely unregulated. You should be concerned.. because you choose to be opinionated while being an 'influencer' online. I do hope that you will eventually get behind the current administration who are highly concerned with the pandemic, with infrastructure development, with sustainable energy and job-creation etc. At the same time I do understand that guns are your bread and butter. Good luck finding a balance.

@@MrJBA79 The "current administration" is senile.
