Got a Holosun 507C on a G17 (RockSlide USA slide).  Works very well.

That was my second choice for optic and may be my next if I convert others over

Once you try this out, and get used to shooting it  - you'll convert others over.  I just have that feeling...

My wife has a Burris red dot on a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm for competing in Carry Optics Division in USPSA. Right now all we have done with it is sight it in and ring a little steel at the range but she likes it and I think it's a pretty good platform. I can definitely see the the little slide mounted red dots becoming more mainstream on carry guns in the near future.

I shot Open Division in USPSA using a frame mounted C More red dot for a couple of years and that sight was FAST to pick up on the draw!

[Radioactive]

Those frame mounted ones didn’t get quite the beating the current slide mounting gets and I was really surprised how small the rmr was. Didn’t remember them being that tiny.

Now I’m looking for an inexpensive one to go on my sw22 so I can get in some cheap rim fire practice. This won’t be slide mounted so cheap one should last ok

I’ve got an RMR on my faux 34.  I like it, but I think I like the irons better.

Is that a Glock frame? Who did the frame work?

I did one of my Glock 21 frames and I’ll never do another as radical as I went on this one

[Radioactive]

Not sure why that loaded upside down

[DNP]

That’s a polymer 80 frame I had once upon a time.

? Did you get rid of it? You started a whole thing because of that gun.

California was not fond of them. Sometimes you have to give up a good thing to keep from being a felon.  I’ll have to find someone who can do a nice laser job on a gen 3 frame so I can put the parts back together on a legal version. What’s the difference?  I don’t know, but I guess people feel safer if I have the exact same thing in a different package. Another case of making bad guys out of non-bad guys. 

[Radioactive]

Got it back - looks good still need to put fixed suppressor sights on it after I’m accustomed to the red dot

[unforgiven]

Nice pistol brother 👍

[Radioactive]

thanks I haven’t shot it yet but will the next couple days.
Primary Machine did the work. Took 2 weeks and that included shipping it both ways. Not sure why they insisted on having the optic in hand though and I never asked why. They had all good reviews as far as I could find.

I know I’m late to the thread, but what can I say, it’s already well established I suck haha. Anyway, this is a setup I’ve been running since about summer of last year. I was skeptical of the Holosun at first, but it’s held up really well to the beating. I intentionally took it to AZ last fall for the shoot, and just threw it around the desert. No problems what so ever.

 

With all that said, I still can’t decide how I feel about pistol red dots. Are they fun to shoot, for sure. Are they quick for practical shooting drills, absolutely. Do I like it more than standard irons, I honestly don’t think I do. Something about the way I run sidearms, I have to actually make a conscious effort to present it the correct way to see the dot. It’s easy to do, especially practicing drawing a few times, but honestly I just prefer irons.

[DNP]

I’m in the same boat with you. The RMR was neat, but I prefer the irons. 

[Radioactive]

I’m still trying to get used to the red dot. I intentionally left the iron sights off till I got the hang of it but to be honest I haven’t put in the time to get consistent. I have a renewed vow to do it so we will see how it goes. I don’t carry my red dot yet still with iron sights for now

I'm with you there! I built a 38 Super Open gun for USPSA and shot that division for a couple of years. Loved the speed that gun was capable of and it really improved my Limited Division skills but I just wasn't into the red dot sights. I went back to my iron sighted STI in Limited and traded the open gun off. It was fun for a while!😁
