I learned to turn the dot down so you can almost see though it. Makes it easier.
The last time I shot an outdoor match with my 45 was about 5 years ago. I was the only one on the line with Irons. I used a merrit for a lot of years, now a dot is just easier.
I remember when "my dot went out" was not an alibi and got a burst of laughter.
I have seen a few shoot with a revolver, usually a smith K 38. I have had my butt whooped by one on a weekly basis.
Some shoot a semi auto 32 with wadcutters so recoil is minimal. I prefer the 45. 200 grain cast lyman 454460 over 3.5 grains Bullseye. 675 fps. I needed 6 clicks to go from 25 yard to 50. This will not matter shooting @ 50 feet.
I remember folks shooting a smith and wesson model 52 which was a semi auto that shot 38 cal hollow base wadcutters. It was THE gun to have.
Enjoy, and have fun.
Its you against you.
