I Finally Fixed My Favorite Glock… And It Changed Everything

About this video

Colion describes his journey from resisting red dot sights to embracing them on his favorite handguns. He explains his preference for the Glock 19X and Springfield TRP 1911, both of which lacked factory optic cuts, and discusses how he used CH Precision’s slide milling service to add red dot capability. Colion breaks down what he sees as the practical advantages of red dots for speed, accuracy, and low-light shooting.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that red dots offer faster target acquisition, better accuracy at distances like 15-20 yards, and improved low-light performance compared to iron sights
• Colion teaches that aftermarket slide milling services can retrofit older handguns without factory optic cuts to accept red dot sights
• Colion emphasizes that training with red dots is essential to realize their benefits, and that personal comfort with one’s defensive firearm setup matters significantly
