Published on June 28, 2018
Duration: 19:20

This video compares the Hudson H9 and Glock 19 Gen 5, both equipped with Delta Point Pro red dot sights, during a physically demanding competition stage. The discussion highlights the benefits of red dot sights and good triggers in mitigating performance degradation due to fatigue and elevated heart rates. It also touches on the importance of backup iron sights for red dot equipped pistols in certain scenarios and the impact of physical exertion on marksmanship.

Quick Summary

Backup iron sights on red dot-equipped pistols are vital for faster target acquisition by providing a physical index, aiding shooters in dynamic scenarios where consistent cheek welds are challenging. This setup, combined with a superior trigger like the Hudson H9's, helps mitigate performance degradation caused by physical fatigue and elevated heart rates during competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do backup iron sights benefit a red dot-equipped pistol in competition?

Backup iron sights on a red dot-equipped pistol are crucial not only for optic failure but also for faster target acquisition. They provide a physical index, allowing shooters to align their sights and find the red dot more quickly, especially in dynamic shooting scenarios where a consistent cheek weld is difficult to maintain.

What is the impact of physical exertion on shooting performance?

Physically demanding competition stages, involving activities like carrying heavy weights, significantly degrade marksmanship by increasing heart rate and causing fatigue. This makes it harder to maintain accuracy and speed, highlighting the need for training under stress to improve performance when fatigued.

How does the trigger quality of a pistol affect shooting under fatigue?

A pistol with a superior trigger, like the Hudson H9, can help compensate for shooting under fatigue and elevated heart rates. A good trigger allows for more precise control and less disruption to the sight picture when the shooter is struggling with physical stress, unlike a less refined factory trigger.

What role do magazine extensions play in competitive shooting?

Magazine extensions, such as the K Arms +2 base plates for the Hudson H9, increase the round count per magazine. This can be a significant advantage in competition by reducing the number of reloads required, allowing shooters to maintain their pace and focus on target engagement.
