I’ve pretty much been exclusively shooting with optics since I’ve gotten into the hobby. I really want to get into shooting irons… revolvers mainly, but I’d like to take the dots off one or two of my guns and use the factory irons.

Every time I do, I’m having a lot of trouble focusing. I end up closing one eye so that I can line the sights up properly.

Anyone have any tips for transitioning between red dot and irons? Just more practice, or am I missing something? I’d like to get to the point where I can bring red dots and iron sights to the range on the same day, and use them both.

Its getting to be winter and here in michigan that meams dressing in layers. This can make it hard to conceal everywhere I am going. I want to have an OWB holster with some kind of active retention but i dont want a drop leg holster or anything that looks too tactical.

My edc for this type of weather is a walther pdp compact with 4" barrel. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions outside of a typical duty holster like safariland.

I asked which one to go and here we are.

12500 NOK with 5 mags, a leather holster, 3 mag holder and a box if ammo.

I think it is a good price especially here.

Hi. I am totally new to guns. I’ve been to the range a few times. I know everyone says I need to rent different models before buying, but does anyone have recommendations to start with to rent for someone with XXL hands? Thanks!

With the M&P 2.0 Competitor Steel HD I consistently run into my thumb, specifically the thumb "knuckle" (CMC joint, basal joint, the portion closest to the rest of the hand) rising up a touch and getting split with the reciprocating slide. I run into this issue with some other firearms that do not feature a beavertail. I was under the impression you want to get a high purchase with your dominant hand. Do I need to instead bring it down a smidge? It feels wrong to hold the firearm in this manner. My current theory is this slide bite issue is a result of the unique structure of my hand, if it isn't some fundamental misunderstanding about proper grip.

If it is a result of my unique hand, is there a custom gun smith out there that can make a permanent beavertail on a steel frame?

Got banned from r/SigSauer for a P320 joke so hope y'all will enjoy the superior platform instead lol

I’m a female shooter trying to decide between the Walther PDP F-Series 4” and the Springfield Echelon Comp, and I’d love to hear from people who have experience with either or both.

I’m really drawn to the Walther PDP F because I love the way it looks, the ergonomics feel great, and I like the lighter recoil spring and easier slide manipulation. My main concern is the recoil. As for the Echelon Comp, I haven’t had a chance to shoot one yet. However, I’ve heard it feels somewhat similar to the Glock 19, which I’ve shot quite a lot and have never had any issues handling.

I’ll mainly be using it for range shooting and possibly home defense. I don’t plan on carrying daily, but I might want to give concealed carry a try someday.

For those who have shot both, which one would you recommend? Is the recoil difference really that noticeable?

I’m leaning toward the Walther because of its looks and ergonomics, but the recoil difference is making me hesitate.

I’d really appreciate any firsthand experiences or opinions. Thanks!

Has anyone tried this?

You got 1k to spend on a handgun…what are you getting?

Hi all,

I'm hoping I might be able to seek some advice from you all about a first CCW. There seems to be no shortage of options out there, and I can't really seem to narrow it down any further (and all the reviews I find elsewhere don't give too much concreteness either). Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Here's what I'm looking at:

• Springfield Hellcat Pro Comp
• Springfield Echelon 4.0c
• Canik MC9 Prime
• Canik Prime Radian
• S&W Shield X Comp
• S&W 2.0 Comp Carry
• I hear good things about the Sig P365 series, but not as much as the above

You’ll be mine Friday 😝

How do yall like the g45 gen 6?

About three months ago I posted in this subreddit for suggestions about buying the first handgun, well I bought one finally and it’s a Stoeger 8000 FT, very reliable, looks good , feels good in hand as if it were built for my grip. It has less recoil in comparison to other guns of the same category due to rotating barrel mechanism.

I need some pointers on how to maintain a gun i.e cleaning, lubing, storage etc.

I know best is a broad term, but overall, what gun in each category below do you think has the best features and performance for the money?

- striker

- da/sa

- Sao

Just another visit for the Kimber 2K11. Man I really think it's one of my most favorite shooters!

Love the color way

Both great pieces, getting one Friday and need to decide. I wanna hear some opinions and thoughts

Definitely nicer feeling in hand. Couldn’t really tell a difference in trigger if there was one. Magwell is done very nicely and it sure does look good.
