I have a dominant eye lense set up to see the front sight. Normal prescription for non-dominant eye. Thinking of shooting carry optics. What are your thoughts for corrective lenses for a red dot? Jay

I emailed my optometrist. He told me to bring my gun in a suitcase and to have an orange chamber block in the gun. When I came in his people had a normal procedure they ran me through. When the Doctor came in he closed the door so we would not scare anyone. We played with lenses on my dominant eye so I could see the back of the front sight on my gun crystal clear. My non-dormant eye was set up like my normal prescription for that eye. I purchased ESS Crossbow glasses that have an inside lense piece to place prescription glass in. The outside has wrap around safety lenses that can be changed also. Clear for indoors and gray for the outside. Other manufacturers like RUDY and Oakley offer the same thing. ESS were the cheapest. I switch to my shooting glasses as soon as I get to the range to let my mind adapt to the glasses. Now no issues adjusting. Great for shooting. If I am ROing seeing the targets for scoring I have to get close. Jay

Welcome!!! Just north of Louisville is Silver Creek Conservation Club. Up the highway east side of Cincinnati is Miami Rifle and Pistol Club. Owensboro and Rock Castel near Manouth Caves are also great clubs. You can shoot USPSA every weekend of the summer around here. Jay

I have the same issue. I contacted my eye doctor and he said bring my gun in and we will get me set up. I previously purchased a ESS Crossbow set that wraps around lenses and inserts for prescription glass behind. It can be ordered with different colored lenses that just snap in. My non-dormant eye was set as my normal prescription tri-focal lense. My dormant eye was set at a prescription that focused that eye on the back side of my front sight. I went with ESS for the price and they work well. There are better models that others have mentioned. jay

I own a P225 that is a great shooter. I have held the P225A1 at the NRA show in Louisville. They are very similar. If Sig makes 10 round mags for it I would purchase one. I have big hands and bought base plates for the mags that did not inter fear with my grip. Also put a stainless steel guide rod in it. Jay
