Wow... okay, so I'll do a multi year bump about a sight nobody cares about. I just ran across this and had forgotten all about it. Nobody REALLY cares about it now. But, these optics are still out there on the market, so someone might Google them and run across this. Strange, I said I'd given up on the sight. Yet maybe 6-8 months later I ended up with one. (the price must have gotten too low not to gamble) It came with the Weaver/1913 mount, I liked it initially and I quickly bought two more. I went from "nope" to owning three. So I'm updating this to say, in case you run across one, don't buy it. They work well, but they eat batteries like candy. Even though they're stored in the Off setting, pretty much half the time I go to use them they're dead. So okay for recreational shooting if you're prepared to put a new battery in it when you do, but I wouldn't trust them for "serious" stuff. I ended taking two of them off what they were on. The third is on a hunting revolver, that I made sure to put a new battery in the day before the season opener, and made sure I brought extras with me. Odd that they marketed this sight with their propriety rear sight mount, since it was aimed towards service type weapons. Not a "shake awake" sight, and it gobbles batteries. Doomed from the start, even if people didn't turn their noses up at the mounting method.

You know what hasn't really? The 4-5kb of hard drive space that me being a member is costing USPSA. That's pretty much what I'm getting for my memberships fees. Now $65 a year for that? They're out of their F'n minds. Even if the org wasn't in shambles and all this nonsense wasn't going on, that would be laughable.

My proposed rule change for the board... Stop calling them divisions. (If all you're going to do is make them more and more alike)

Get the AMT. It will be entertaining for your squad mates. (at least for the first couple stages, then they will grow weary of it and you)

Updating an old thread no one cares about. I was told at some point their "no mount" option started to include a weaver/1913 rail mount. But basically there was no way to know if the one I'd be bbuying had it or not. So I gave up on the idea.

I don't know if that phrase can be used in USPSA anymore.

I bought two police trade in M2's and they both beat the heck out of me, whacking me in the face. When I looked into it and into the stocks, I figured it out. Their armorer must have been an idiot Both set up with I suppose random stock locking plates in random orientation. (or they were all left handed? lol) The guys in that department must have hated shooting them.

So you’re pulling your gun out of its case and out of the corner of your eye you notice a bunch of lint or case fuzz on the rear of your optic.... “Avert your eyes! gods sake don’t look at it!” Good stuff.

Yet this is okay?

I shot a whole lot less a couple times.

I'd like the revolver rules to change to what they were ten years or so ago.

STI grip safeties eat me up, painful to use.

So we're trying to bring in new shooters who own pistols with non removable flashlights. Got it. I hope the matches don't get too crowded now. ;)

Ancient thread now but... we used to shoot with a guy, who IIRC pulled the trigger with his ring finger as his index and middle finger were mostly, if not all gone.

Yep.. know all about that. They sell it in three different setups, propriety rear sight QD mount, adaptor plate and sight only (which depending on when it was made, may or may not come with a 1913 rail mount) All that aside, they still have mounting holes in them like every other sight. Trying to find out if it's one of the industry standards or propriety, (I contacted someone that I sort of know that works for Mepro, but they were of no help. May have to try other official avenues there)
