The new ronin dot is crushing it

Joel Park, an experienced competitive shooter, shares his challenges with the Holosun 507 Comp green dot sight during a competition. He encountered significant visibility issues in mixed lighting conditions, particularly when transitioning from shade to bright sunlight against a brown dirt background. Park found the green dot less discernible than a red dot in these scenarios, impacting his ability to quickly acquire the sight picture during rapid fire. He concludes that for his personal use in bright outdoor conditions, red dots are currently superior.

Ben Stoeger, an experienced shooter, reviews the Osight XR red dot optic, comparing it to the Holosun 507 Comp. He highlights the Osight XR's comparable quality to Holosun, its battery-free charging feature, and its $300 price point. A significant issue noted is the incompatibility of the provided screws with Glock Gen 6, requiring aftermarket hardware for secure mounting. Despite this, Stoeger finds the Osight XR to be a fine optic with potential for future growth.

This video explores how astigmatism affects the perception of red dot sight reticles and compares various optics with and without corrective eyewear. The speaker, who has astigmatism, details how different reticle designs appear to individuals with this condition, offering recommendations for the best-performing red dots for astigmatism sufferers, both with and without glasses. The primary takeaway is the significant improvement in reticle clarity and usability when astigmatism is corrected with prescription lenses.

This video addresses recurring questions about the red dot sight used by the speaker. It clarifies that the optic is a Holosun 507 Comp, enhanced with an Aris Manufacturing shroud and plate. The shroud is specifically added for protection against impacts with surfaces like glass, wood, and granite, addressing a known weak point in the 507 Comp where the glass can protrude and potentially crack when racked on an edge.

This video from GUNBROS discusses the practicality of large red dot sights on handguns, specifically the Holosun 507 Comp. While beneficial for competition due to their large objective window and forgiving sight picture, the speaker highlights that such large optics are generally unsuitable for concealed or duty carry due to bulk, snagging potential, and increased vulnerability to damage. The discussion emphasizes finding a balance between optic size and intended use, referencing industry standards for carry-friendly optics.

This video details the setup and initial thoughts on two Glock pistols, a Glock 17 Gen 5 modified for an optic and a new Glock 47 MOS. The presenter discusses optic mounting, backstrap modifications for improved grip angle, and potential trigger upgrades, seeking community input on trigger selection for the Glock 47. The content is geared towards firearm owners looking to customize their Glocks for performance and reliability.

Ben Stoeger, a professional competitive shooter, highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing such failures. The guide provides steps to troubleshoot this specific problem, emphasizing safety and proper firearm handling.

This video demonstrates a critical safety incident: an uncommanded discharge of a Sig Sauer P320 during the re-holstering process. Expert analysis from Ben Stoeger highlights the visual evidence of the discharge originating from the holster, emphasizing the importance of constant vigilance and proper technique even when the firearm is supposedly "safe" in its holster. The incident underscores the need for thorough firearm inspection and immediate post-incident assessment.

Ben Stoeger, a professional shooting instructor, explains common misconceptions about red dot sights. He emphasizes that true proficiency comes from focusing on the target, not the dot itself. The guide details training methods, like occluding the optic, to develop this crucial skill, comparing it to the lifelong refinement needed for trigger control.
