[Focus - Target or Front Sight ?]

Agree it also depends what your shooting at what range.

IPSC/IDPA targets for me out to 15yds I look through my sights, and squeeze the trigger knowing that the sights are on target and blurry, the target is crystal clear. Thats also how I train.

If the target is steel pie plates, or head shots, I focus on front site post. also do the same if Im shooting bulls.

[Best Range Bags???]

Dillions Bag is rugged and large, I carry out three pistols with all the mags, acces. etc. No issues.

Post up, Ammo finds and the price if you can.

I found the golden bullet, cheapest I found was Gander Mountain at $3.99

Not to bad, but not cheap.

[Weak hand only......I stink!]

I would say get a rig setup for left hand.

Left hand holster, mags offset on your strong side.

Start drills like you would strong hand working the left hand, and introduce left hand days where everything is left hand or weak hand only.

Also, conisously use your left hand when you would typically use your strong or right hand, ie: opening doors, picking things up...consious effort should lead you in the right direction.

Good Luck!

[Right Handed, left eye dominant, my experiences.]

Thanks to all for the welcome and for the insight (Literally I guess)

Ive been trolling this site for a year or so and think its time to post up.

Someone asked how I shoot rifle, as a left eye dominant shooter.

Answer is: I just use my right eye.

My carbines: either with Eotech 551/Elcan 1/4X/ACOG/ Doctor sights...Ive never had an issue with using my right eye in any situation (El Pres, Comp. etc)

My long guns same deal..in Glass (leupold, Schmidt and Benders) any glass, never had an issue with eyes.

Pistol, the only thing Ive noticed is that my 25M bulls are always better weak hand (left) with left eye dominance.

Might be all and all like some said, an issue of grip, or trigger control, because I have noticed that shooting left handed, is like shooting for the first time, and I resort back to core fundamentals, so that could account for the better bulls Im pulling.

Glad to hear Im not the only one.

Appreciate the input, and look forward to more.

Thanks

[Advantage Arms Glock .22 conversion kit Review.]

Ok, so I shoot a Glock 34/22 in IDPA/IPSC and decided since the price of ammo is stupid out of control I would get a nice conversion kit.

I paid $280 out the door. and mounted it on my G34 slide. I noticed it felt kind of cheap, but I guess cheap to me felt light and the slide feels like a toy compared to my stock glock slide.

Installation is a breeze, pull off the stock slide, put on the .22 conversion.

My kit came with a cleaning kit, which included gun oil for oiling the slide and barrel. A bore brush and patches, and a rod....

It also included a 10 round magazine.

I first noticed on installation that the slide was kind of gritty puttin on, there was a little jiggling that had to be employed to make it work, but it eventually went on.

Without reading the reccomended instructions for ammo, I went out a purchased 4 types of ammo to compare.

I noticed the first thing it reccomended was 36-40 gr. .22 and high Velocity.

I stopped at the local Gander Mountain, and purchased 4 types of Ammo.

1-box of Federal Spitfire 50 rounds. 31 gr. $3.99 plus tax

1-box Federal Champion 50 rounds 40 gr. $1.99 plus tax

1-box Remington Golden Bullet 40gr. $3.99 plus tax

1-box of Winchester 100 rounds 36gr. $5.99 plus tax.

I loaded up the Federal Spitfire, first round...failure to extract, second failure to extract, I noticed the cartridge was deeply seated in the chamber and that the extractor was unable to grasp the cartridge, there was a deep gash in the brass on the edge of the rim but it still did not extract. I had to actually rod through the front of the barrel to take out the cartridge. This was repeated 10 times.

Next I loaded Fed. Champion. 40 gr. same issues, failure to extract, after the brass failed to extract, I would drop the mag, let the slide go forward, and then pull the slide to the rear and it would extract maunually, but not during normal cycle. This was repeated ten time

With hope fading fast I loaded up Winchester....Same issues times ten rounds of frustration.

Then I loaded Remington Golden Bullets, 40 gr.

First round...boom...extraction...second round....boom extraction again...smooth, flawless. repeated ten times.

I reloaded ten more, to ensure this wasnt a fluke. Again, ten rounds perfect...

I loaded ten more, turned the gun on its side, held it limp....ten rounds. perfect.

I loaded ten more. Rapid fire, ten rounds, not isues...flawless. I couldnt induce a malfunction.

Loaded ten more rounds, upside down. Nothing, ran like a gem, perfect.

Then I was out. $3.99 down the drain and I wanted more, but I was out. I had forgotten how fun .22 was.

The bottom line:

This kits ammo issues are apparant and written in its manual. It reccomends the golden bullet, and so do I.

It ran flawless through this kit, and just when I was on the verge of giving up, this kit with the golden bullet, make it the perfect conversion.

I definetly reccomend this kit for all who want to have fun and save some money at the same time.

[Right Handed, left eye dominant, my experiences.]

Ok, well I've always shot right handed pistol, with left eye dominance my entire life. I shoot carbine and rifle right handed as well.

I always shoot both eyes open and simply just have got use to pushin my sites over a bit to my left eye.

I dont feel my carbine or rifle has suffered from this, but recently I've noticed some issues in the last IDPA/IPSC matches.

Whenever I pull rounds it is always to the left. With both hands on the gun right hand draw, my rounds are slightly left.

My weak hand 25M bulls are almost always higher then my strong hand.

Ive tried to shoot left handed and Im very accurate, but very slow since its my weak hand, I've also pastied my left eye to use my right eye and I've become more accurate, but still slower then normal.

My questions for the forum.

Should I just stick with my right hand/left eye dom. and work it out?

Switch hands and try to shoot left handed?

Or, retrain my eyes and try to get right eye, right hand down?

[Iron Sights - which are best?]

For sights you can install yourself, Dawson plain black adjustable rear/FO front is a nice way to go. I've got them on my Glock and they do the trick. Bo-Mars are great if you don't mind having the slide milled as part of the install.

splash

I use Dawson as well, Any plain rear with a fiber optic front site we'll work out great for you. Make sure you get the site set, can't tell you how many setups I went through trying to mate up a rear site with a FO Front site. .215 is what my setup sits at now on my G34.
