I'll repeat that I am no expert on guns or optics and probably will never be. I do understand why red dots are useful. My opinion is that a gun I'm going to pull out of a pocket and quickly fire is not going to be improved by something that helps me aim better. For this pocket gun, to be able to draw and shoot accurately within a couple of seconds is my goal. That's the instruction I received from Bongo. He demonstrated by putting five shots in the X at 15 yards within maybe 3 seconds at the most. I can't come close to doing that but I'm working on it. The gun in that demo was his carry. I don't recall what make but it was a subcompact type. I should mention that the grumpy range officer had a hissy fit when he did that. Range rules don't allow drawing from a holster.
There's another member at my range who has a smaller compact type handgun who shoots really well. Older guy. The one thing Ive noticed is that with skilled shooters, their motion is smooth and natural. Almost relaxed and casual. They aren't pausing, squinting and looking down the sights trying to line them up like me and just about everybody else. They raise the gun and pull the trigger in one motion. These guys load the magazine, stick it in and empty it quickly one shot after the other like it's second nature. I'm still at the stage where I'm tense and overthinking it. A memorable Bongoism was: Stiffen your wrist and relax your grip a little, you aren't choking your chicken. Also: Keep your f___ thumb off the slide! Reminds me of Kindergarten Cop.
Here's a photo of my new pride and joy. Not quite as nice as the stock photo I posted. Three magazines came with it but no holster. Alabama Holster told me the Glock pocket holster will work. I was disappointed last night to discover that they dont have one specific to the CR920. I will look around some more.
