I have not yet moved that way for a lot of reasons, mostly money. I have, however, followed the information with real interest. It seems that a good bit of dry practice presentations are required to get used to the dot. Until enough have been done, it is a frustrating time, but after - good to go.
I am sort of thinking of one more .357 revolver project, and have to admit that a 6" barrel with some sort of optic for better long range utility has some real appeal. Again, not a front burner project.
I do like my 629 & 617 both wearing Leupold 2x scopes. I hunt deer out of a box blind with the 629 and it is possible to get a solid rest. Practicing with the scoped 617 keeps my sight picture the same when I grab the 44. With the scopes I am not fast on the target by no means and an unsupported shot is out of the question. Important thing for me is my accuracy off a solid rest with optics @ 50 yards is the same as open sights @ 50 feet. The red dot sights are something I want to explore for a few other guns.
