This is what my PT night sights look like in the total dark. (It is hard to use the camera and the gun at the same time) This is the laser

Having never used it in a life threatening situation I can't honestly say. But I'd guess a mix of both. It is almost like point shooting, but with an aiming reference. At least that's how I shot in the low light training. KBK

Very Very visible. While I wouldn't use it as a primary source of illumination, the dot does (depending on the surface it hits) throw a decent ammount of light out. I've got a pic somewhere on my harddrive. I'll see if I can find it. It compares the blacknees of my unlit toolshed with the...

I have used a Crimson Trace setof grips on my 1911, and I am trying to get them for my Glock as well. They work. IMHO they are about the best thing to happen to guns since they because autoloaders. I'd prefer them if they threw a green laser, but the red works just fine, IN THE RIGHT...

I also use a Pietta 1851 Navy, one in .36 one in .44. I was also caught by the 12 grains max load that made me scratch my head. I can't remember what the book said for the .36, but it was even LESS. I thought about it for a bit, and then I must admit I threw the manual away. As I...

I use Pietta's, simply because that's what the shop had in 1851 Navy. I prefer the Navy barrels over the other types. Remind me of some cap guns I had when I was a kid (not cap and ball, just cap:) ). I haven't found anything wrong with the Pietta brand. I have had the spring break on one of...

Woot, bashing the 5.56mm abd the 9x19mm. KBK

I think it is worth a try if you can find a cost effective sight. Having never used a laser bore sight i don't know how well they will be visible? Are they more powerful than normal laser sights? I'm a huge fan of lasers, but unless it is a green laser for day or used at night 40 yards out doors...

Maveric 223, that comment of mine was probably uncalled for, but it was directed at Randl who has commented on nearly every one of my posts and said something along the lines of "badguys in the States will run away and not fight at any show of force." I was referring to the CRIMINALS in his...

I use AAA ammo. Because it is what's on the shelf

Most of my experience with shotguns has been with genuine combat shotguns. I've also done quite a bit of 3 gun and using a borrowed side by side hammer for Cowboy Action Shooting, but my clay experience is rather limited. I've at most "tried my hand" at it, most often with a borrowed Baikal and...

Randl, no I am not arguing that at all. I never mentioned daylight or number of badguys. I don't know where you live, but where I do, in suburbia, there is generally a decent amount of ambient light. Especially if i have been in the dark for a while, say walking around looking for a house to...

I carry as close to all the time as i can. There are some minor exceptions, but generally if you see me, i'm armed. If i'm getting dressed the gun is on the bed waiting next to my glasses. If i don't have my gun i will have a knife. If i don't have a knife there is one close at hand. They are...

Again with the "using sound to scare badguys away" arguments. Honestly. It can scare someone, and it might even have the effect of making them turn tail. However this all relies on the badguy knowing what it is, and associating it with imminent 12 guage death. It might also make the bad guy...

Still missing some pieces. But if you want small, you don't need to go PGO. And it can be shot with the stock collapsed. KBK
