Painting Gun Sights - How To

[rainbowbob]

The laser doesn't help you look for or find a target. You don't activate the laser until you have acquired and are ready to fire on a target.

I guess I'm contributing to thread-drift here but...

I've never used a laser sight (outside of a gun shop). Aren't they grip-activated? If so, you activate them as soon as you pick up the gun. Also...can't they be used to acquire the target by letting you know when you've bounced 'em off the BG?

You activate them when you choose to activate them.

The target is acquired visually. You activate the laser after making the decision to shoot.

You activate them when you choose to activate them.

If they are grip-activated, how do you avoid activating them when you grip the gun (especially on a small snubbie)?

I blacken my rear sights.... can mess with bi-focals for us older guys.

By not exerting pressure on the switch.

O.K.

Now back to our original thread...


I still want to know how you can aviod muzzle-blast blindness by not using your sights.
