My new Smith & Wesson target pistol with sight rail and red dot
installed, and suppressor in its little bag, and a couple hundred rounds
of CCI Standard Velocity .22LR ammo. I've been playing around with the
"proper" spot on the rail for the red dot.

I have thought about getting a red dot or similar but I am just not
sure why. Most of my pistol shooting at this point in my life is just
"front sight", basically just wanting to be able to hit something
"saucer" sized at 7 yards instinctively without really aiming.
I fire from retention and, if the range is OK with it, double tap.
I have rolled a running rat with my frontier scout, shooting shot.
(crossing shot, first round)
That is more like a station 4 skeet shot.


The Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot I have works nicely and goes on sale a lot
during the year, sometimes for around $70. If I do my job with the red
dot, I can put 10 rounds into a coffee cup sized circle at 25 yards
while using a traditional two-hand stance with my now "departed" Ruger
Mark III. I haven't been to the outdoor range with the new pistol
yet...but I expect it will shoot at least as well. The trigger on it is
very nice. I've only shot it at the indoor 25 yard range, and that was
just to break it in a little.

That's a tandemkross charging ring on the back of the slide, about the
only accessory to the pistol itself I'll probably add.


If you were semi-believable, you'd be a great shot.

A great shot, like one of my buddies, can shoot offhand and put 10
inside a circle the size of a quarter. I'm too old to achieve that
level, but I still see well and can hold the pistol steady.
