diehli Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Go to http://www.holsters.com and take a look at the photos of TGO. His steel gun looks to be sporting a Docter. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Ira, a Docter is a brand of optical sight made in Germany. It's very similar to the Optima or JPoint scopes. Docter Sight Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Bagnato Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 He's also been using a Docter on his regular Open gun at local matches here. Works well for him he's had zero problems he told me and nothing been done to it. On the other hand one of my friends has broken three already inside 2 years.

Julien Boit Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 That's funny how people are lucky/unlucky with the same product. A friend broke almost half a dozen of Oko sights when I have had three without any problems at the same time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Bevin Grams [TeamGE] has a mod for the Docter that makes it brighter and more reliable. He also mills them low into the slide. The 3rd-generation sights are mostly all trouble-free anyway. I'm guessing that TGO has lost Aimpoint as a sponsor, just like EG did - if I have my facts wrong please correct me. With the M4 military contracts, seems that Aimpoint is selling everything they can build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob - when you say that TGO has "had zero problems," do you mean he's had no problems or he's had problems with the sight holding zero? Thanks.

kellyn Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I've spoken to TGO about his Doctor experiment and even shot a few through his Doctor sighted open pistol. My understanding of the Doctor experiment is that TGO prefers and primarily shoots iron sighted pistols and likes the location of the Doctor on an open gun since it is pretty much the same as an iron sight. I believe (but don't hold me to it) that location is the primary factor. I don't believe (again I hesitate to speak for TGO, you'll have to ask him to be sure) that he would say that the Dr is a superior product than the Aimpoint. I don't know of any failures to hold a zero with his Dr. sight. I don't know the status of Aimpoint sponsorship and can't say that you would not see an Aimpoint on future guns. Remember TGO is always experimenting. Personal opinion, the cycling of the Doc does not bother me since I'm primarily an iron sighted shooter as well but if I were mainly an open shooter, it is not the sight I would use. I would stick with my CMore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Grube Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Even shooting irons the dot moved opposite what I was used to with tracking the front sight. Had big problems with it in really bright light. Switched back and my scores went back to normal. They worked out the problems with them going TU. Just remember he is TGO so he could win with a paper towel tube mounted on his gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
