5 Year Law Enforcement Report on Red Dots on Handguns

I can’t imagine the study is all that beneficial given the minuscule numbers of cops using dots. Just not that many do, yet.

Dots to me are a benefit, but they aren’t the end all be all. No piece of equipment fills that pipe dream role. Not to mention if you have bad fundamentals the dots just amplify that.

Dots have been extremely beneficial in law enforcement circles from what I’ve seen and been told 

Yes fundamentals are important but under stress bad fundamentals with a dot have greater chances of hits vs iron sights 

quality instruction in the proper way to use a dot is incredibly important 

More and more cops are using dots, some very large departments are phasing them in on all duty guns…….

In 10ish years all cops will have dots on except the old grandfathers in guys

Not arguing against them. I love dots. I use them on anything I carry. Everyone should use dots!

Yes more are using, but still way more that don’t at this point. But yes in 10 years a vast majority will I’d imagine. Except at places where they don’t issue guns. Non gun nerd cops are notoriously cheap. 

Agreed on the instructions. I’ve gone to two Sig based classes and instructor level with Sage Dynamics. I had already adjusted myself to dots without but still learned a ton at the classes. The dots can give the shooter more feedback on what they’re doing than another set of eyes if they pay attention.
