I have an optic on my Shield Plus that I don’t shoot as well as the sights on my S&W 632. At the range, that is.

I carry it anyway because I need reading glasses to see any detail within 2 yards or so. The red dot works whether I have glasses on or not. Even high-vis iron sights are really hard to pick up against a bright background.

Has anyone else with older eyeballs found that a red dot helps? If not, if suggest giving it a try.

    I’m in the minority that I don’t like Glocks as CCW, but someone makes a backplate that appears green only from the angle that the sights are aligned.

    So it allows your eyes to focus at what you’re aiming at, and if it’s green you’re gonna hit it.

    You’re not going to win any accuracy medals that way, but for CCW range it’s more than accurate enough.
