- I Hate Red Dot Sights On Handguns | Change My Mind
bit.ly/2QEs9hT
At this point in my life, I won’t shoot a rifle without some sort of optic if I can help it. Can I shoot a rifle with iron sites, yes, I can, do I prefer it, hell no, do I enjoy doing it, not really. As a matter of fact, I hate it. This shouldn’t be a surprise. The first time I shot a rifle it was with a red dot. However, the first time I shot a handgun it was with iron sights. I didn’t shoot a handgun with an optic until years later and I hated it.

“What country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” - Thomas Jefferson
This is the most extreme attempt to take our rights to bear arms
Ever.
Give them a proper warning this 20th

I hope to see you there!
@@Rex_Starborne Guys, guys, guys,
I know the Virginian state government is going to pass the strictest gun control ever in American history.
I know it will effectively ban all guns and make most citizens that don't comply with registration felons instantly.
I know that means waiting for red flags or litigation to repeal these laws.
I know we say we won't comply and simply threaten to boog if they take it "any further"
But please, dress professionally like we've done in the past. It has done wonders to preserve our rights
/s
They know we have stashes of guns and ammo, yet politicians still behave this way
If now isn't the time to truly bare you to bare your teeth, I doubt you ever will

What's sad is only 50k people are going & that includes people from outside the state. We have over 8mil people here. Some people are complacent because of the sanctuary districts, which should show that this is serious. Most people I talk to don't know or care. The response is "they won't do that", "people are getting upset over nothing " & "we have sanctuary districts ". With this attitude & the lack of interest the Democrats have played this well. Unfortunately not enough people give a damn any more. Best wishes

@@lawrencekeenan9234
That literally made me laugh out loud
I didn’t hear you mention the greatest benefit of red dot shooting so I will: Threat Focus.
Rather than focus on the threat, focus on the front sight, you are able to continuously focus on the threat and just place the dot on the target. I never found handgun marksmanship that enjoyable until I added a red dot. I found my eyes fatiguing as I shot as my eyes had to continuously adjust focus. Now with a red dot I also find I am able to focus even more on my grip and trigger squeeze fundamentals.
Appreciate all you do!
Jon
@Easliy Displeased I love how in this community it's not like oh the UA-camr sad it so it must be right but do your thing if it works for you.
@Easliy Displeased Hey bro, chill. Why are you getting agro? Honestly, you should learn fundamentals before using a sight on any platform. Thats not exactly something to get knotted up over.
I can't speak for everyone but I don't focus on my sights at all, I'm able to see them while focusing on the target. This is close range (25 ish yards or so) only, I do have to focus a lil more on the front sight at further distances. I watched a video from the warrior poet and he talks about threat focus and the benefits of the red dot, guess I don't need one lol
I have yet to shoot with a red dot, but I have lasers. And I love them. I just put the dot on, pull trigger. Hole in target. But I wanna try a red dot and see how I like it.
I like using a red dot on a pistol. Red dot with high rise sights is the best. Best of both worlds. But I agree with this comment. Red dot on a pistol also makes it faster to get your sight picture back after your gun recoils. Faster follow up shits and also great for night time use.

Cause I cant afford it end of story.
No worries they’re over priced and over rated!
@@igotthis449 prices are coming down (check holosun) and trust me. Its a process, but once you achieve proficiency with a dot, you'll never want to go back
Vitaminstorm I actually have a Holosun dot sitting in my safe right now because I can’t use it do to my astigmatism. Still will never like them even if for that reason alone. Glasses don’t correct it for me and no matter what I do the red dot still looks like a blob.
@@igotthis449 Same problem with me, at first I just thought that the sight is broken, but my friends said that it was perfectly fine. I went to get an eye check and found out the reason why, it was my astigmatism
@@igotthis449 thats called "blooming". Get a green or gold dot and that won't happen

Sparknotes:
“I hated them until I trained with one and became competent with it” 😂
When he said he had trouble picking up the red dot I was thinking to myself, "Has this guy just not spent a few hours training with one?" I couldn't pick it up well at first and figured it out within two hours. I'm cross eye dominant (or at least with this pair of glasses I am) and it's really not that difficult. I will say I often use the front sight to pick up the dot though.
People who use red dots on handguns need to take their ass to the range and practice with their iron sights. Practically, how are you supposed to carry with a red dot on top of your slide?
@@pjamese3 by putting it in your holster. That's not the part of the gun that prints when concealing. As stated above, I shoot better with my irons because I haven't practiced much with a red dot.
Yeah, I'm much better with irons too.
@@pjamese3According to everyone else's logic, how am I supposed to carry a Glock 34 gen5 with a 19 round mag and 21 round spare? With TLR1-HL on it? Appendix IWB with no printing.
It's easy, and did I mention I have a red dot on that exact setup?
As far as switching to red dot. I never had issues with it. Picked it up instinctively, and with my bad eyesight, it helped me a lot. No needing to focus on multiple focal planes, front/rear/target. Just focus on target, bring dot up, boom, easy consistent 100 yard shots.
I’m with you. Just shot my first red dot on a hand gun. I feel you 100%. The gun just never feels like it’s aimed right even once you finally find the dot.
Thanks for being and keeping it human and not some ninja tactical uber pistol guru. Glad to hear you struggle with the same stuff I struggle with. Never could get a handle of red dot on a pistol. Thanks again!
Man, who would have thought getting some training made a difference...
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Just using the same pistol, or at least the same type of pistol, from month to month would probably help too.
Nate Rivera Exactly!
*Primary & Secondary Podcast* episode 208 - The Pistol RDS. Listen to it.
This goes for anyone planning on getting into Pistol Red Dots. Cheers🍻!!
Unnecessary. But if carying your gun with a red dot makes you feel good, you can hit with it, and you carry every day; Rock on Bro!!! 💯
I hear ya, But... Of course employing a RDS on a pistol isn't *Necessary*. It also is Not just a another gadget thrown on one's sidearm to make them "feel good", at least it shouldn't be.
Sure, there are a Lot of people that mostly dig the cool factor and that's fine, but when properly trained and utilized it IS a Potentially superior sighting system for many people (though not for Everyone).

Just tried my 1st red dot on a pistol. I'm in love. Yes, you need to ignore that dot moving everywhere, but after that is gravy. Way faster way more accurate.
Really well thought out and executed analysis. Also WILDLY entertaining!! Thank you for creating this and sharing with the rest of us. Your analogies are, of course, on the mark.

This video highlighted everything I love about Colion's content. Great footage. Clever commentary. Crazy analogies. Relevant topics. I also happen to feel the same way about red dots on pistols so it was nice to hear that I'm not alone. Well done and Kudos to Sig for setting it all up. I love to see you doing content in this format again.Keep em coming!
Little late on seeing these, but this red dot series you made have really helped me since getting my RMR. I loathed it, but I couldn't justify removing it for the cost of it. Found myself focusing more on my irons than the dot itself, so therefore making a $500 purchase a waste of money. Listening to your gripes matching my own, this short set of videos have definitely changed my mind and after six more trips to the range. I'm finding that I quite enjoy the red dot now, but I'll be damned if a few volleys don't get out on target from my irons still. Haha. Always love your content though and will continue pointing people to your channel whenever possible!
"Change my mind."
No.
Too lazy to change his mind

"I dont know what it's called.... I just know the sound it makes when it takes every ounce of humor from my being"
Later in life, when the eyes no longer shift focus as reliably as now, then you will understand an learn to appreciate an optic.
For anyone without an optics-ready pistol, this seems like an expensive thing to get into.
You can pop out the dovetail sight and slide a mount in for a red dot to get a taste and see if you want to get your slide milled.
"You've lived with this thing your entire life"
drick2004 lmao
"That's what you think"
"Tactical paralysis by analysis" lol
A new term that I'll be sure to parrot endlessly because it's accurate
CN are a lowkey rapper.
I don't have that but I do have older eyes and am thankful for the clarity of a red dot.
It also adds some of the time to target the aging body takes away.
Just started watching your videos. Really like your mindset and sense of humor. Good stuff. Marine infantry vet here with zero pistol training however. Looking to learn.
“A tactical paralysis by analysis”. That quote is awesome and I’m stealing it.
I just recently shot a pistol with “red dot” it does let you know how much your moving when you think your holding steady! I think they are good for improving shooting skill... but for actually packing I prefer without!
Man that red dot analogy was hilarious Colion
I have to say honestly , I love your content but this is the best you have done. I learned a lot
Alright. I subscribed and liked. Your vids are killer. So is your commentary. I love it haha. Thanks for the great content.
OMGGGGG this looks so fun and exhilarating. It looks like you were having a blast. Great job shooting and great video.
There is a lot to train through when adopting a red dot. But at the end of the day to each their own. That's my take
Every single complaint colion has was completely squashed after actually putting in the work with it.
I dont see what's so hard. Put the dot on what you want to hit and squeeze the trigger... bout as simple as you can get really
@@dillionclayton2152 most people get spooked when they realize it takes repetition to upholster and see your red dot instantly like they are used to with irons. The having to "fish around" for the dot is what they hate. But that's just repetition. After that you are right it's pretty dang simple, even more than irons honestly.
I basically decided people hate change even if it's good.
Dillion Clayton I just like to keep it simple. It might not be as good (arguable) but irons are just fine for defense and range.
@@TYMGhosT Nothing is simpler than an iron sight.
I’m only halfway through, but this is easily the most honest take on pistol RDSs ever. It’s also comical af. I know it’s a year old, but well done, sir.
Friggin' love it! Just stumbled across your channel, and am now binge watching videos. Your analogies are hilarious and great. I just got a RDS for my VP9 and will have to try out some of these drills.
Thoughts from an OG L/E and TacOps operator/instructor:
- Sight systems are simple or complex... learn to use what you have, but don’t lose sight that what you’re actually doing is learning overall body/weapon system muscle memory... ‘cuz when that fancy dot fails, you’ll still be in the fight with confidence that favors your survival.
- Keep your head and eyes up, toward the area of threat. During reloads, you repeatedly looked to your waist and mag pouch... the threat is not at your mag pouch! Reloading, tactical or emergency, should be by feel and fluid, with confidence it will happen 100% of the time... remember, smooth movement is fast movement.
- Up your game... advance to the next level. You sprinted position to position, but every time took time to stop/establish a base and sight acquisition and THEN fire from a static position. You’re vulnerable in these moments, so start learning how to shoot effectively WHILE MOVING cover-to-cover.
- In the shoothouse and from the vehicle, you exposed yourself entirely to shoot. Challenge yourself to get behind elements of cover (concealment, if that’s all that’s available) and ‘pie-clear’ that cover edge to the point the threat is identified and you make the decision to fire. Expose only your gun and that portion of your person absolutely necessary to intentionally engage the threat.
Shooting fast is fun, but real world demands efficient deployment of resources to ensure/maximize effectiveness. So, start taking the next steps in your training.
The hardest thing I had to learn about a no magnification reddot was to keep both eyes open. Look at the target, raise the firearm, when the dot is on my target pull the trigger.
Both eyes should be open with irons too.
Definitely shoot with both eyes open. It's an easier learning curve shooting with one eye closed, but both eyes open is tactically superior. If you close one eye, your field of vision goes down. There may be more than one bad guy.
@@josephperea4125 yup, it helps with field of view and target transitions. And it's one less step. Performance is all about removing eveything that isn't needed. Eg. Closer one eye, correct feet position, duck head, hunch shoulders all are not needed to fire the gun well, so don't do it.
Cover up the front of the lense. It will teach you to keep both eyes open.
Unless you are using a magnified scope both eyes should be open while shooting.
This is BY FAR my favorite video of yours! I'm a big fan of your work and your narration during the end of this is what opened my mind to red dots. THANK YOU!
I hated the thought of a pistol with a red dot. They can tend to be bulky, difficult to conceal on your concealed carry gun. Plus, I am really good with my irons. I never “hard front sight focus”. Even with irons, I target focus and can see my irons just fine in my peripheral vision. Served me well for decades. And the thought of putting battery in my gun seemed ridiculous. But then Holosun came out with their SCS optic for my Walther PDP. Now that my eye sight is not as good when I was a younger lad, I love shooting with my optic. I’ve gotten REALLY good with it!
Shot my first red dot on a CZ P10C yesterday and yes although it took some adjustment to get the correct sight picture...once I had it down it started to become muscle memory. I fired only 50 rounds then immediately switched back to irons and found myself fishing for the front sight, which had never happened before and it felt really strange. So within 50 rounds my presentation with he gun had already begun to change to the red dot, I fired another 100 rounds and was extremely impressed not only with the ease of target accusation but accuracy as well. The RMR type 2 allowed me to zero the pistol in with a much higher degree of confidence than having to settle with fixed sights from the factory. My hits at distance were dramatically improved in only a short amount of time and couple hundred rounds. I resisted the move for quite some time but now Im a firm believer, give it a little time....there is a learning curve but when you start to see and feel the advantages you're confidence and proficiency will grow quickly.
I'm 66. Been shooting at the age of 9. Always open sights until I went Antelope in Wyoming. It was my introduction to a scoped rifle. But 20 years in the Army, in three wars, I shot M16's always with open sights. I was on the AMU for 3 years shooting 1,000 open sight competition, as well as 1911 bulleyes competition. My very first introduction with a red dot sight on a pistol was this year. And I am struggling to get to like it. I have gotten to the point that I can run a rack of 8 plates almost a 1 full second faster with the red dot and with open sights, when I can pick up the red dot from the draw, but that's not consistent yet. I like it, but for self defense and daily carry, I'll stay with the iron sights for now.
Videos always have me hooked! Well fine as always Mr.noir!👏🏻
At the end of the day, red dots on handguns require that everything "goes to plan". Your grip, draw, presentation, etc needs to be perfect or you're just staring at an empty window with no idea how you're misaligned.
On a rifle, this is no problem. Once your cheek is on the stock, it will always get you lined up to where you'll see the dot somewhere in the glass. (Unless you mounted your red dot in some wonky fashion.)
On a handgun in the real world? Not gonna happen. You're gonna be loading your shopping into the trunk and get jumped by one or two guys. You're going to be within spitting distance. Your grip, draw, and presentation will not be perfect.
For CIVILIAN shooting, not LEO shootings, John Correia, Active Self Protection UA-cam channel, watched thousands of gunfight videos and he’s mentioned the most common range is 3-7 yards. Claude Werner, The Tactical Professor, did an analysis of several years’ worth of stories from the Armed Citizen column in The American Rifleman. His summary on distance was that the majority of the incidents were “slightly in excess of arm’s length.”
So you're spending hundreds of dollars on the sight, hundreds of dollars in ammunition, and countless hours becoming proficient in something that statistically doesn't help you in a civilian self defense shooting. Imagine going to a tactical rifle course and spending hours learning how to shoot at low flying aircraft. Completely useless? No. Something that's going to be useful in the real world? Probably not.
What sighting aid DOES help you? A laser sight. They're about as fashionable today as bell bottom pants, but they do everything a red dot does and more, as far as a person is concerned for self-defense usage at realistic self defense ranges.
If you want to have fun shooting watermelons at 100 yards with a pistol, get the red-dot. If you want something for self defense, get a good laser sight.
yep. on a rifle the contact point makes target acquisition very quick
I had to stop and replay the entire video after hearing "I'm a habitual overthinker". I think I over thought that phrase.

Thanks, I love your analogies and descriptions.
You got me with the cross-dominant eye solution. Long ago a drill sergeant shifted my rifle to my left to match my dominant left eye. I've never been able to incorporate that switch to handguns; I'm going to give this a shot...so to speak. Thanks!
When you see the dot "moving", your body (assuming you train often) will slowly and subconsciously make micro adjustments and the dot will stabilize if you put in the effort.
That is if your dot hasn't shifted
@@bmagada lol why would your dot shift
Good point
When your eyes start going to shit you'll love them for distance
Doctor says I have 20/20 vision, and the red dot still helps a lot beyond 15 yards or so. Inside that, it's kind of a draw.

The nicest thing about a red dot is that you only have to focus on trigger control. No more lining up sights, just put the dot on the target and press the trigger.
I don’t like the look of red dots on pistols, but I definitely see the benefit of having one

I won't try to change your mind at all. I tried red dot sights on both my AR15 and my AK47 and also on a couple of my pistols and absolutely hated the damn things because I couldn't hit a damn thing. Switched to optical sights on the AR and the AK and could put the lead on target every time. Always use open sights on my handguns.

Looks like you learned to 'embrace the wobble' as a red dot enthusiast said on his UA-cam channel. Also there is a transition training needed as you stated. Did well in changing your mind. As a seasoned citizen I found that one focal plane to look at makes it easier for me to shoot without corrective eye glasses to get the front sight in focus.
Great video ... Man, u put in some work !
4:20 ok so this definitely sounds like a specific thing that happened
I need a class like this
Your analogies are outstanding!
Sir, I love this video. You hit everything that I am currently going through. I just took my Sig Xcarry back to the gun shop to get the Romeo 1 sight removed from my pistol. It looks cool but I am not confident with it. I wish I could have training on it but until then, I am going back to Iron sights. PS, I am the guy who has to ask for permission to do stuff now, haha. I love the videos and I hope to order a shirt from you soon. Stay safe.
I hated dots until i tried one with cowitness irons. After that im a believer,
@Dio Black depends on the dot and the irons, 200-700 dollars. Its like asking whayt a pistol costs, you can run the gauntlet from hi point to wilson combat. Red dots are easier to make accurate hits at, allow better situational awereness, low light ability, switching between targets. they are simply awesome to use. Not just for rifles.
Instructor - "moving!!!!"

Not sure if Colin was ever a special forces guy, but I bet the instructor once was.
He admits that he isn't former military. He said in an interview that he didn't care for guns until law school. I think it was on Joe Rogan's podcast..
Funny when you know what is supposed to happen, when it's with a civilian who never had that type of training. I'm not laughing at Colion, just the situation.
Keep up the great work! Love your content
Hahahaha hey Colion!! Loved the analogies and story telling in this video!!! Made Perfect Sense! 👌👌👌😂
I dnt know what's it's called. I just know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life. Hilarious
Huzzah! A man of quality!
I seriously hate red dot sights on handguns, too. Not only does it look unsightly, I find it to be useless and difficult to align with as well. I don't know why I let myself be convinced to get one.
Like you grew up iron sights shooting got a Smith & Wesson M&P core when they first came out play the Red Dot on it haven't looked back took a little bit of training and now I shoot IDPA Optics Division and love when I shoot my 1911 with iron sights I got to go through a few practice magazines to get back to those fundamentals again and it all goes back to fundamentals appreciate everything you do
The narration for this video was fantasticly entertaining.
I'm still trying to get people to mount scopes on their handguns. Honestly, a full size revolver with a low power scope has changed my life.
gotta carry that 60x scope on my 3 round 22 short mini handgun
@@Brainman_2331 lol I'd run it
For big game, yeah. Edc? You'd look like han solo.
@@killian9314 Hmmmmm is that such a bad thing?
In all seriousness, I wouldn't wanna run it every day. But out in the country itd be advantageous.
Revolvers look better than semi auto’s and scope’s look cooler than red dots mix that with a nice looking scope and revolver you have a master piece. So yes I totally agree with you.
