I have a few pistols with the 2 dot and a few with the 3 dot. I can't honestly say which one I prefer more but it did take me a little adjusting once I bought the first 2 dot.

How does the cheesiness matter? Not that I leave it dirty anyways.

I prefer the straight-8 over the I-dot even though they are basically the same. The serrations on the Heinie's sight make focusing and lining up the sight easier, I don't know how to explain it but it makes for a better sight picture for me. As for being faster to acquire just depends on your training. For low light/night shooting I prefer the 2 dot versus 3 dot, it just seems less cluttered.

Thanks for the input on the sights, I will get mine on this week and then get some shooting in, I qualified with my Shield last night , 94/100 pushed a couple left as I am not yet used to the slimmer grip.

Mike, did you get the 9 or the .40 Shield? Just curious if you shot both and how they felt. I'm starting to get serious about picking up something for carrying. I already have a Glock .40. Would like to stick with the same ammo if possible. I know too I need to try them myself cause each person is different, just looking for other opinions.

9mm like my full size.

Is it yours? What is it? I think I see a Colt medallion.

Put a hundred or so rounds through my Shield last night with my new two dot sights, I like the sights just fine, still getting used to the thinness of the Shield and be mindful not to get too much finger on the trigger, but sure is fun to shoot!

Looks like it was caught in a tornado. Grips replaced. Maybe it was buried in a load of gravel in a dump truck and then found again and cleaned up? Used to level concrete? Kept unholstered in the bottom of a toolbox? All of the above?

That gun appears to have a slide mounted decocking lever, and the trigger has been converted to double action use. Looks like the offspring from a 1911 and a S&W model 645 that had a wild weekend together. :-)

Yep, obvious how fake it is in the better picture in that link.

I was wondering how long it would take...seeing the "decocker" on the slide, I have an airsoft like that. Looks "kool" though :-)

Threading for Suppressor and finished cap before Cerakoting.

Sweet!

Never seen a 1911 with a decocker. Heard that Sprinfield did some testing once with a decocker on the CZ series which look very similar to the 1911. But this one really looks like a photoshop special.

Sweet can!! What gun is it for?

Its for a customers .223 that I'm building for him, the can is mine but he has the same one.

Super jealous of you guys that can run suppressors. Is that an AAC?
