    I have to slightly squint my less dominant eye, I have tried both eyes open but I always get the double vision and have to readjust

    Look at the post above yours. Everyone squints even just slightly. Or, shouldn’t say everyone but almost everyone. There’s a whole science behind it that I can’t remember but basically it’s easier to shoot with the non dominant eye squinted.

    Another thing to keep in mind about a larger window on a pistol mounted red dot, is that it makes the dot easier to find.

    I think the year plus back order has been filled up all at once and everyone is sitting on excess inventory.

    CHPWS over sold their inventory (I’m shocked) and are waiting on more to fulfill orders.

    You mention Defoor talking up the Holosuns.

    I’ve always followed and liked Kyle. He used to always push made in USA everything. Even boots, pants, everything. I had a ton of respect for his take on that. Always seemed to justify exponentially more expensive stuff because the quality of the American made goods was higher, and of course it’s the patriotic way to live. A true all American dude.

    Then like a light switch he starts pushing Vortex and Holosun cheap optics like crazy.

    I’d love to hear his reasoning for the flip flop.

    I would say it’s a “working relationship” with vortex. And a lot of guys are talking about how Jolson is getting the job done a lower price which is a hard argument to counter.

    Yeah but the “just as good” thing has never been Defoors approach.

    I mean what’s next? Drop BCMs for PSAs because they get the job done for cheaper?

    He’s a big Tenicor spokesman. His kydex holsters cost more than his red dots.

    The whole Holosun on a Staccato thing looks to me like retread tires on a Ferrari. I couldn’t do it.

    Try a Holosun on a Chambers.

    And as to “just as good”, it actually is performing just as well. So no it’s not a psa vs bcm argument.
