Don't you need bi-focals for reloads etc.....
i am able to reload magazine with no correction
2 hours ago, zombywoof said:I use +.75 to my distance prescription in my shooting lens and same bifocal (right lens) My left lens is is the same. I put a piece of tape over the left lens for irons.
This will give you good front sight and not so fuzzy target. It's called a controlled blur.
sorry just to be clear (i've read the same before ) you are adding +.75 to front sight focus?
i've been hitting the range daily to confirm prescription. while shooting both eyes open i'm still seeing a bit of a double image with the blurry /front sight focus image is the good one.... i'm told that the +.75 will help merge the "double vision"

today's range session with scrip fell apart at 10 and 15 yards!!!!
still good at 3-7yard ?!
how far past front sight (towards target) did you your optometrist set scrip/focus? or what change from actual front sight focus?

I got a cheap pair of percription glasses to test occupational scrip/ shooting perscription
got a cheap pair to test the percription before ordering final pair of glasses
non dominant eye almost no correction for distantance
dominant eyes rx'd for just past front sight focus. Single perscription
im very excited to see front sight crisp again!!!
shot about 50 rounds today, quick indoor range trip... I'm back to both eyes open and faster target acquisition, much tighter shot groups.... (still need a little more time with them of a bit off left right)
on these test test glasses Dominant eye is a single lens
now I'm questioning if I should go to bi focal for dominant eye?
if I do go bi focal, is top or bottom for near field vision?
part of me is thinking go with single on dominant eye ... thinking I'll end up bobbing head on site /target acquisition with bi focal lens..and keeping solution a simple as possible....
I imagine brain brain will Eventually accommodate to scrip to allow you to see well enough to move.....
i need to to have new glasses ordered before this insurance year end.
i couldn't get contact lenses to work.
please advise....
thanks in advance!

How about the Tork conversion for $80?
Doesn't lock back. But it's inexpensive....

I'm in process of building pcc. I like taccom products and Customer care. How is recoil response without muzzle break? Does tube heat up on long strings of fire? I'm suspect of accuracy with such a short barrel? Granted pcc cof are relatively short distance
-
Curious about taccom use barrel... just saw on web sight it's a short barrel in a tube?
How does feel movement wise compared to a 16 inch with a decent brake?

I saw the pro mag conversion for for about $60USD!!!
-
Is the pro mag glock or colt mag?
-
I have an extra lower laying around I want to convert to 9mm
what conversion block or kit do you suggest?
Other than hahn I can't justify $200. For that amount I'd get a dedicated lower
i also prefer lock back on last round LRBHO.

As an Optometrist, I suggest gray color. It is the most neutral color. I use gray transitions..............
What's your opinion on adding polarizing to transitions gray?
-
CZ is notoriously tight, I was able to get these to run well. I prefer the flat point, a bit more accurate but finicky with brass. but the round nose
also worked well.
Something doesnt sound right ....... glocks tend to be very generous.....
did you smoke, or marker loaded cartridge to see where interference is?
i had issues with 147 flat points with certain head stamps, Having issues at the "hips"

While not tacticool..... the very discrete, Home Depot husky tool bag, I've been using the 12inch and 18" bag husky bag from Home Depot. When loading for multiple guns the 18inch bag. Most of my gear as has heavy nylon bags, or padded bags already.

The first few time today I i started to "index" with my weakhand as a habit. I ended up placing, like you place hand on chest, open hand.....

The brand traniitions offer polarized with gray lens only.

I've been told by optometrist's they the grey are the best, the last 2 pair that I bought have them. At least for me, they work great in Arizona.

I picked one up on sale/Black Friday.... birthday present to myself.
Out of box impression,
Likes:
the value, the 3 year battery life if left on, Mixed with solar solar capabilities, Even longer life, inexpensive replacement battery. The 65 moa circle with 2 moa dot.1/3 cowitness. Comes with tiny torx to screw in battery oompartment. And Allen to fine tune quick release, built in kill flash
sturdy plastic box. Able to switch between circle /dot reticle to dot only, Variable power, setting where solar is primary then switch to battery ass needed . The 65 moa circle almost automatically finds and sticks to target. Cr 2032 battery inexpensive and available at local drugstore.. my first one has expensive battery with poor,shelf life.
Dislikes:
no sleep or auto on function. I like the idea of front and rear attached caps but they are not removable they hinge at bottom and don't open flat, and seem to take up real estate on rail. Although. I don't run anything else on rail.. not as compact as other models. And slighlly heavier. But don't really notice that weight when aiming The flip caps add to size. Maybe 3/8 inch on both front and back. In spite of added size it's much more compact than my first red dot.
Initial impression is very good for "budget" red dot , so far.
I'm going to zero and shoot with tomorrow
anyone else running one? Opinions? ( found one bad review here)

So I think I finally think I got the right "occupational" / shooting only prescription for my shooting glasses. I'll have cheap trial pair in a week or so to confirm prescription works for my shooting style. I'm thinking of final order with safety lens etc etc, I have the option for transition / photochromic ..... clear in low light darkens in bright light. I have choices of gray, graphite green, and brown. . I shot fiber optic fron sight on hand gun, red dot on carbine. Scope on dmr stick. With the gray lens darkening with polarized option. What do you suggest?

Dry fire.
What times are you getting on a one-handed Bill Drill ?
tonight i averaged 6.3 best was 5.3
i think i found issue ....draw to first shot was at 2.7 ish at beginning of session worked on it was able to get down to 2.3's ...... . feels like forever to get sights aligned,
changed to strong side foot forward. trying different arm/shoulder alignment, i kept returning bit of a higher shoulder position, higher than 2 hand, i was able to get on the sights faster
feeling stronpger, and faster, more accurate
i think the answer here is ....... more dry fire..more live fire....more timer..... now to add more goats with weak hand only.....
i admit it while a trying session today it was the most productive I've had in along time.....

single hand shooting is one on my goats. sure question includes weak hand, but for now i'm concentrating on strong hand... i've been using the 5x5 drill as an exercise regularly, with string 2 progress is extremely slow. ( draw strong hand 5 shots 10 yards). i work this weak skill regularly. i'm sure over time and practice it will improve.
i recently converted to vertical vs. slight cant.
Tips please.
