Re: Time to modernize qual - allow Red Dots

I just acquired a Vortex Venom to mount onto my Ruger .22 pistol - an OuterImpact plate (to replace the picatinny rail and get the sight lower) should be here later today.

Edit: Got it and installed; a lot sleeker than the Pic rail would have been:

Should make for a nice little bunny-buster.

Re: Time to modernize qual - allow Red Dots

We've all seen inexperienced shooters try to shoot with a laser and it didn't help them :mrgreen:

Red dots are no different and the sole advantage they might have (over traditional iron sights) is a single plane of focus.

Everything still comes down to trigger-control once the sight - in whatever form it takes - is aligned, so my opinion is allow them (and lasers and the kitchen sink if they want).
