Red Dot Sight for Defensive Handgun

Red Dot Sight for Defensive Handgun

Red Dot Sights (RDS) on pistols have been around for quite awhile in the competition world; however, only recently have they become more engaged in the defensive handgun world. A great deal of hand gunners are installing them on the firearms without understanding how they are actually used, or the benefit that can be derived from using one. A RDS on a pistol is a complete mind shift form standard iron sights. If you have recently installed a RDS on your pistol, or revolver, than you owe it to yourself to train with, and learn the intricacies of the RDS. Speed to target acquisition, marksmanship, and gun-handling are different, and unique with the RDS. Come to Trident Firearms Academy to learn the tactics, techniques, and skills necessary to take you to the next level with the advantages provided by the RDS.
