Clear glass with a sharp bright dot and no blue tint or anything like that. The sight comes with a shim so you can mount it either lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness depending on your preference. If you've ever used an EOTech, the controls provide kind of the same experience in terms of management.
I haven't abused it at all (and probably won't), but it "seems" rugged enough and Vortex has a lifetime warranty if not, so I'm not too worried about it dying. Definitely a great value for the money and lightyears ahead of something like the TRS-25 which is a total POS (I returned two that were DOA). I also just found out Vortex has a killer discount program for military, LEOs, and vets that make these things a steal. HTH

British .303. 4 types of rounds. X, XX, XXX, and XXXX( 4X can bring down a full grown Bull Elephant at 900 yards, one shot, or so I am told.Enfield .303 No.1 Mk 3. GRI's were made in India, if I'm not mistaken.
I just dug it out of storage after 8 years. Needs about a week of cleaning. Ugghh...
(the pictures say 2006, but that's just because I didn't set the clock in my camera)
I don't know why it has "1899" painted on the stock. I think it might have been the Rack No., or something.
I want to find out more about this rifle.
Stopped into the CWP location to price out some pistols. Turns out, taking the CWP at the local gun store location equals one year free membership and a 5% discount on all purchases. That plus the Glock Blue Label program has me pretty excited. LadyViper will likely get a Ruger LCR. I'm leaning towards a Glock 26. Christmas is coming early...
Also found out SC now has reciprocity with Georgia so NH permit is unnecessary. Still may look into it since family has land in Western PA and NH covers PA. They offer the Utah CWP as well here.

Dan Wesson bobtail? I've read good things. How's it shoot?
Cons: front sight is too short, it prints about 6 inches above the top of the sight at 25 yards. It comes with three dot night sights, which I dislike so they're going to get replaced eventually anyways.
Pros: everything else. Zero impulse to do a trigger job, it's a crisp 4 pounds. Light (aluminum frame) and thin (medium thickness grip panels), so it carries superbly. 9mm 1911s shoot soft and flat, so it's very fast.

I have Wilson/Vickers combat sights for my G19 and love em. Tritium front / U notch with black out for rear. I like them alot. I know them make them for 1911's also.

SC CWP came in the mail a couple weeks ago.
Christmas came today. Glock 43 is my new carry weapon. I test drove nearly every 9mm handgun they had at the store. (#taxdeduction). I did like the Springfield XD and the Sig 938; however the Glock 43 is the best match. Signed up for a Level II Defensive Shooting Course and purchased a Blackhawk IWB holster for the training. It is comfortable to wear even while sitting, and doesn't print.

Now if I can just get my TA50 from my new unit..... the Guard is such a strange animal compared to AD.

I love my little 43. Mine prints only a little bit because I wear trendy, basic-bitch, metrosexual clothing to attract the next Mrs. Hate Ape.
It's good terrorism awareness, I'd never be suspected as mil let alone a guy from the community ;)
