Once again it was great to get together with a bunch of like-minded guys and do some quality shooting under a master instructor. Beers afterward are always a fun bonus!
Thanks again to The LAV, and to Paul H. and Grey Group Training.
I had a great time shooting the class. The class was full of great students who were eager to learn and fun to be around. The range was perfectly set up. That’s a great combination in any class. The Pittsburgh area is also very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip.
A Steelers win would have been icing on the cake, but they got waxed. Even so, attending the game was fun as hell.
I’m not Grant but I did try out his M&P9 at the 35yd line.
And to answer your question, yes the dot completely covered the 6" steel plate. I only took two shots with it so I can’t really tell you much more than that. But when I lined up the shot, I just placed the dot over the whole plate and squeezed. I missed both times :sad:
(I don’t recall which size dot his dual illum RMR had)
What concerns me though is that Leupold is not known for reliable electronics. We will need to see a bunch of these in action before we can honestly say that they are GTG.
I can tell you the Deltapoint is very rugged. I have ran them for quite a while now and have purposely all but trashed one and it just keeps on running. I have had it soaked in rain storms, Dropped my gun directly on the sight from over my head about 15 times in my slag gravel diveway, and slammed it gosh knows how many times into wooden support beams on the range as in one handed stuck slide clearences and it has never quit or shifted point of aim/impact. I carry a Deltapoint on all my working guns including my SWAT deployment pistol.
Larry just took delivery of a G-17 just like the one he had at the school but with a Deltapoint instead of the RMR. The RMR has had some point shifting issues. I have not seen any of that with the Deltapoint.
