Tried an Optic on my New EDC

Post by DanielChamberlain »

So, I've never shot a red dot optic on a pistol before.
But the little beast comes cut for an optic so what the hell.
Put a Mecanik MO1 on it.
Zero was a snap. Irons are visible through the window.
10 yard group was a ragged hole.
Moved it out to 15 yards off hand at the end of the shooting sesson for the last 10 shots.
It will work.

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

I'd really like to try one but don't currently own a proper platform.

Yep, just sold my P365 and will replace it with a 43X MOS. The 48 MOS is now my dedicated EDC…

So far, I’m leaning on the Shoe Store. Haven’t jumped into the personal arena other than revolvers. But, the Shoe Store provides.

I may get some slides for my personal Glocks down the road and optics to go on them. But, currently no need.

A quick trip to Justsomedude as the need/want arises and no new slides needed.

I'm starting to feel the peer pressure!

There were a couple of issues early on that were solved by my slightly buffing the feed ramp to round off a sharp edge. Now it's 100 percent if I slingshot the slide. It wants to hang up if I use the slide stop lever. But I was trained to slingshot so it doesn't matter to me. It's snappy and after 100 rounds I'm ready to stop.
