First pistol with a red dot, despite having like 40+ guns... It's different, tighter groups, but I'm definitely slower with a red dot. Will need a lot more practice, guess I have an excuse to shoot more? Now if only ammo and reloading supplies weren't so damn expensive.
Dry fire practice. Practice trigger pull and reset and pull. Then practice swapping magazines from a table, then move to practice swapping magazines from your carry equipment.
I appreciate it, Issues I have are tracking the dot through recoil which dryfire won't help, and finding the dot on presentation which dryfire certainly will help.
I already dryfire a lot though, almost daily. The mantisX is a great tool for dryfire, especially to time a draw from the holster. I also have been waiting for a coolfire co2 trainer kit for my glock.
Yeah, don't forget we all have tens of thousands of reps at minimum on iron sights. Learning to shoot a pistol with a red dot is a new skill, and you have to retrain old habits. My groups are definitely tighter, not to say i didn't have good combat accuracy with irons. But i'm definitely slower with a red dot on follow up shots and presentation... I feel like target transitions could be faster, but hard to do that at an indoor range. I was timing around .6 second splits with the red dot, vs .4 second splits with my irons. Also from a low ready i went from .6 seconds to about 1 second with the red dot... had a hell of a time finding the dot. This will just need a lot of dry fire practice at home.
I really think that red dots on pistols are here to stay. Durability of these things have gotten so much better, great battery life, and for longer shots, they are so much easier. I took a couple shots out at 75 feet, and it felt like cheating vs using irons. Would i ever take a pistol shot out that far? hopefully not. but nice to now you can. Competition shooters with red dots seem to be much faster with them, so it's really a matter of training to take advantage of the red dot on a pistol. And as we all know red dots on a rifle, are the only way to party.
i haven't seen one in person, but yeah, never been a fan of the SAS models. And from what i've seen of the SAS sights, no sure how i'd feel about them.
This is my first carry gun without a safety... I don't like the location of the safety on the 365MS... My other 2 carry guns are a p938 and a czp01 steel frame with safety. Their safety's are well positioned to be a natural sweep, but the location on the 365 just felt awkward for me.
Regardless, yeah, I was very impressed with everything except the trigger compared to the other 2 carry guns I have. Hopefully it smooths out after a few thousand trigger pulls.

Not one round needed. Muscle memory achieved

That is why I still run upgraded iron sights on my pistols. I have converted to Red Dot on my SBR lately. Like a religious conversion.
Be safe pede

As far as training, at least you didn't get the SAS model. No thanks!

Dark is a no go.
Oh that little guy there don’t worry about that one.
LOVE IT! Just got the 365MS. It's a little monster. These guns are amazing! Great choice, Pede!
