Got the itch for another 10mm so I ordered this. I’ve never shot a pistol with an optic but went ahead and got a trijicon RMR to throw on it. Y’all like them any? ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/11/full-28262-248858-img_6969.png)

Yea man. It’s my 9th DW. They are the absolute best bang for the buck imo. I can’t see myself ever carrying another pistol other than my Guardian .38 Super….although I’ve got my eyes on a Staccato C, only because I don’t own a 9mm

Book a hog hunt and apply the 10mm. Break in the pistol. Take full advantage of a red dot.

You will be hooked. Went to green dot on a shadow systems elite for my duty gun and have shot a perfect score both times I qualified with it. For aging eyes it’s the only way to go. Already got a Glock 43 cut and green dot added and fixing to do a Glock 42.

Already got a Glock 43 cut and green dot added and fixing to do a Glock 42. I didn’t see any green dots! I found out that I have a slight red dot astigmatism on my Aimpoint PRO and CompM4. I’m curious if a green dot would be better.

I almost considered a Glock like Karmalla has but then I remembered that I absolutely suck with any striker-fired or double action trigger

My favorite is the Ruger Vaquero in 357. Single action and you'll appreciate feeling the trigger break. With most my personal experience being double action. And I don't blame you for not liking it. It does suck.

It is. DWs are hand-fitted, tool steel internals, no MIM. I have a Baer and Ed Brown and honestly, the Wessons are on par with them imo. Quality isn’t cheap. Tons of People pay $1500-2000 for Mimbers that are worth maybe $800…gotta pay for all them pretty ads

Red dot is the deal if your vision isn’t good at the sight or target. The gun sight is my worse focal distance. Putting a red dot on brought my grouping to less than 50% of what it was.
This old will not ever shoot without one.

Already got a Glock 43 cut and green dot added and fixing to do a Glock 42. Agreed. I think I still shoot a bit slower with the red dot but I don’t miss as much. Dry fire training with Mantis has made the transition much quicker.
