A Good Example Why A Red Dot Is A Bad Idea For Concealed Carry

The other day I started watching the video, below, which was showing the difference in speed between drawing and shooting a handgun with a round chambered versus drawing and shooting a handgun with no round chambered, requiring you to have to rack the slide as part of the draw ("Israeli carry"). But the concealed handgun being used sported a closed emitter red dot sight, and during the test, it became caught up in the tester's t-shirt on the draw at least twice that they showed in the video. Something to think about if you are using a red dot on a concealed carry pistol.

  1. Israeli is just as fast. The way he slow racked that draw was BS. The gun is presented thru the support hand in a racking movement and single handed shot. Again practice locks this in with either draw technique. Now run 100 yards and lets see how you do, ehhh
