    I'm new to red dots and I literally did this the 2 days ago with my new red dot because it seemed like common sense. It was totally off at first and I wanted to at least have it close in case I needed to use it... so I adjusted the dot to the tip of my irons AS IF I was going to shoot using my irons... now I know the bullet will at least hit close to the dot

    I mean, my eyes are weird. For some reason I consistently hit low right with the factory irons on my guns. It’s consistent across platforms, and others are much closer to zero. For whatever reason with a red dot it’s much less of a problem. But that is also with the dot a bit above the iron sights for clearer los.
    Edit: this is only for handguns. I can hit all day long shooting skeet. I rarely use irons on rifles, but when I do it’s not a problem, possibly due to the longer sight radius.

    They do line up... With a 25 y zero my dot it a little higher than my front iron.... But yes you can shoot it anywhere in the window... That's why we have dots... It's still be closer to my 1" sticker than most people shooting with irons. Slaving is a zero trick for making faster in the very beginning. Hold the pistol perfectly straight behind your eye... It will be aligned with your irons.

    Really starting to love your stuff but why do you hate the shadow systems so much. I understand the trigger mechanism shifting the slide sucks, for a $1000 gun that’s ridiculous but I don’t think that’s enough to completely hate the gun. To me it’s still going to be greatly more accurate than what most people could shoot anyways. As far as the trigger goes, I think a brand new SS feels better than a brand new Glock but that’s just my opinion. I know you mentioned the mag well being fragile, I’ve never had a problem with that and I’ve never heard of that problem before. All the other upgrades are just things I would prefer over a Glock without having to spend hundreds more just to do it aftermarket to another gun. The mounting system is awesome, the irons, slide serrations, stippling, back straps and threaded barrel are all just upgrades that I would want to do to a Glock anyways but this saves me an extra $1500 of having to do it aftermarket.
    Either way I guess I’m just a smooth brain but I’d just like a more in-depth explanation about your opinions on the firearm as a whole
    Also the trigger has been greatly upgraded for the newer models

      The anticipating thing you're doing is a skill that is beneficial in most circumstances.
      But it is hampering you in terms of precision with firearms.
      I can't really tell you to "just disregard the recoil and focus on the target" because I know it's not as easy as that, even though that's really what you need to do.
      I'd suggest doing a few back-to-basics range trips where you have someone else load your mags with random dummy rounds throughout and try to practice the exercise mentioned in the video until you're not flinching anymore.
      It's not an insurmountable habit.
      And that anticipation has its uses in working through more complex things like reloads, malfunctions, courses of fire, battle drills, etc... You just can't let it hold you back when it comes to controlling your weapon.
      You'll get there.
      Just take your time and be patient with yourself.
