I don't mean to say that your laser emitted from your pistol has any notable POA/POI shift. What I mean is that your camera that watches where your laser strikes is experiencing parallax error. The same way you would if you looked at a clock on the wall that was not directly in front of you. I would assume that your "lasr" camera must be off to one side as you are probably in front of you target. All speculation of course.

Sounds like you might need to increase you live fire practice to identify what you really need to see out of a sight picture at a particular distance. I don't know that I trust the laser deal 100 percent there must be a degree of parallax error involved in that program.

Don't get rid of the first book by any means though. Just use the the other two to expand upon it.

Yup. His new book is back in stock on Amazon. I have been listening to his podcasts and his 3rd book reflects what he is saying in his pod casts. Good stuff. This and this

.8 to .9 you could do that relatively easy within a week with the proper practice

Sounds like you need some professional instruction. If you have been doing dry fire for a few months now and are still having issues with your draw you need another set of eyes on you. All the practice in the world won't help you if you are doing it wrong.

Buy Steve Andersons book refinement and repetition. Then do the dry fire drills as described. If you are serious about improving this is the place to start. Stop worrying about other people's cadence of fire. They are achieving it by practicing in dry fire or just whipping out The pistol and pulling the trigger. Did you even notice if they are shooting alphas?

Stick your finger out in front of your face. If you can focus and see your finger print then I would assume there is nothing physically preventing you from focusing on your front sight. I believe as do many others that being able to shoot with both eyes open is an advantage. But I know some great shooters that only use one eye. Again you must decide that you want to do it then practice. There is no magic answer here. Whether you use tape on your glasses, squint or use a dot it all takes time and effort. I would highly suggest that you do this practice in dry fire first.

You definitely don't need a red dot equipped pistol. But I have noticed when training newer shooters that if I start them out with one that when they transition to an iron sight pistol they have a tendency to use both eyes. If that's not an option then practice your sight picture in dry fire at a target set to 21 ft. Start out squinting your non dominant eye then fully open it. It takes time and effort. You must decide to shoot with both eyes open. If you dedicate yourself it will become a subconscious act in no time.
