Range results tonight... 9mm Glock 17 w/ RMR for the win. .45ACP distant second.

For those who haven't seen the S&W R8/TRR8 .357, here's a pretty good review of it. If anyone is wondering why hickock45 is using a "swat" shield at the beginning of the video, it's because supposedly the TRR8/R8 was purpose built by S&W at the request of SWAT teams for the 1st man in an entry stack with a ballistic shield. With semi-autos, the slide can hit the shield while firing and cause a malfunction. I guess it happened enough where they asked S&W for a handgun that wouldn't have that issue, and the TRR8 was born. It's why the R8/TRR8 is tactical, i.e. black and railed top and bottom...

My first revolver and I'm really digging it. I plan on throwing a Surefire light and maybe an RMR and using it as my go to home defense handgun. If I can find a decent shoulder rig, I may even carry it during the winter under my hoodie/vest/jacket.

The guys running speed loaders make it look easy BTW. My reloading by hand was painful to say the least.

Now I need a Blazer or a sportcoat so I can flip it back in an exaggerated fashion to draw.

Discovering my undiagnosed astigmatism - priceless

My corrections are evenly split between spherical and cylinder
Red dot is almost unusable without my glasses - putnon the glasses and it'sa prefect little dot

I was gonna ask what kind of holster allows that draw.

I thought Glocks pointed naturally for me until I put the red dot on.

the solution to it is a new holosun scs. as stupid of a design that is - it actually works well.

i now wish holosun would make a same design in the traditional rmr mount, so it would fit same way a milled slide and sit low in line with stock iron sights.

I do like the idea of working with standard sights. Unless I get something else to use the 509t I won't be replacing it.

if you set muscle memory to bring the glock in the line with irons - any red dot will be a bit off, too low, for the natural point of aim you`ve got.
i had that with g34 and DPP on it, swapped it to this scs - and it immediately went back to what it was. need to shoot it more now, to enforce new normal.

LMAO, that fake bullet casting.

Lol at least someone tried, you don't see shit like that in film much.

I will give them that. I think the last 2 movies I saw someone cast were The Patriot and maybe Constantine (I believe there is a casting scene, or maybe jsut reloading?).

Wasn't there a scene in Jaws where Chief Brody reloads? I can't remember if he was casting is bullets or not.

Chief Brody put cyanide with wax on his boolets to help kill the shark in Jaws 2.
