If so I’ll just mill the slide to match the rear of the dot You’re better off buying a plate to mount the Burris, as opposed to permanently modifying your slide to fit a low end red dot.

Well, some might consider them low end however, I do not. Shooting the optics nationals a couple years ago and watching all of the people shooting Leupold DeltaPoint Pro’s firing a couple of shots and then jabbing at their button and then a couple of shots and then jabbing at their button, I’ll pass. And one of those shooters was Julie, lol. I have yet to find better optics than Burris, regardless of price. Not saying there aren’t those as good, but none better at near the price point.

I’d be surprised to see even 1 Burris at any USPSA match. There is a reason people don’t use them. Even when the only other choice was a DPP, they still weren’t very popular. if it works for you, great. But there are many many better options available.

And I have not ever worried what other people use, and have never chased the super squad in my equipment choices, as they generally shoot what they’re given. And that’s why I shoot Burris.

I wouldn’t base what I use off what the super squad uses, there is too much bias due to sponsorship deals. You can tell yourself whatever you want, Burris is a low end optic when it comes to USPSA.

However, I know what works no matter the cost or who else uses it. I’ve been with Burris since the early 90s and I have not once ever had a Burris product fail whether I’m shooting USPSA, PRS, the masters, Bianchi, cup, or anything else. I am not impressed by how much something cost or who else uses it. I am impressed by Performance and if you haven’t tried a Burris fast fire on a pistol, you don’t have a dog in the hunt.

gmantwo Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Jessie, you better leave Taurus, that’s low end. Doug, nobody shoots Ruger in USPSA, better get something else. (Dougs son Trevor & I had the same issue with the Delta Point, we always saw 2 triangles in there. Not good) Jalise, Stoeger? Really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmantwo Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Of course, we all know, it’s not the equipment they use that makes the super squad super. It’s dedication, time put in, and everything else comes from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s you who is stubborn I’ve looked at the Burris years ago when it was on of a few limited options. Even then it wasn’t very optimal. The way you’re going on about how great burris is, you’d think you work for them or something equally ridiculous…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick303 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 At the end of the day are own experience with products or what we observe typically shapes our perceptions of any product. I do not like Burris optics, based on personal reasons. For me I think the glass is too small on the Burris, to where I prefer optics where the dot has less of a chance of leaving the glass during recoil. Does that mean anyone else should not use a certain product? Obviously not. In regards to optics, none of them are perfect as we speak. Each one has pros and cons in regards to glass size, dot size, reliability, double dot due to direct sun exposure, price. Each person has to decide what they can and cannot live with. I do not think there is any real correct answer in regards to optics. I do feel some optics are not up to snuff in regards to USPSA, but it does not affect me in the least if someone else is using that optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
