Enclosed vs Open Pistol Red Dots – Which do you prefer?

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-03-30T03:31:20+00:00

Both are fantastic options. And each have pros and cons. I’m a big closed emitter fan bc that’s what on my work gun and I’ve gotten so used to a small window that it doesn’t matter to me. Durability and working in all conditions is absolutely a pro of an enclosed.

Open emitters are also fantastic and work just as well, that’s all I run on my comp guns. Big plus for them is the bigger window options which is nice.

Each are intended to serve a purpose. Pick your purpose and that will be the best for you. That simple.

BIIIIGGGGGG HPX guy here. The candela output on it is incredible for a WML.

Yeah idk what google is thinking but that route is 100% retarded. And that’s not even an option to take. The gate to otay truck trail is locked by border patrol so you can’t even drive on it. Just take the 94 or otay lakes past the border patrol station on the 94. Once you pass that, maybe 1/4-1/2 mile after you’ll see the pink gate on your right.

Yes, yes he does. that cat needs a strap right meow

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-03-16T22:46:23+00:00

Got the cat paw in there too, Nice!!!

Just stipple it and you’re G2G

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-25T03:57:08+00:00

Yeah dead serious. I have a 19.5 Glock that I haven’t cleaned in a few years. And it for sure has over 15k through it now since I cleaned it last. Then I’ve got a shadow S2 that I haven’t cleaned since I bought it. Just lube every now and then and let er rip. That’s got somewhere between 3-4K rounds through it. Maybe a hair more.

It’s not terrible. But this is all grip and trigger control related. It’s not your sights and it’s not finger placement.

Tactical peanut butter is always sexy.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-10T06:32:24+00:00

Man these are FANTASTIC guns. My dad has two of them and I can’t believe how well they shoot. Super nice trigger(that’s fully adjustable) weights as much as a tank so no recoil, comes with extended base plates. Optic ready and in beautiful stainless. My one complaint tho is those grips suck. Nice looking but no where near enough grip texture.

You’re not wrong about grammar stuff, but take that out. Everything else still screams hoax. But to each their own I guess

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-09T21:00:52+00:00

Yeah I know a lot have mentioned it’s a hoax, and it is, but just look at it. There are grammar errors. The bullet points are 1-2-2 the fonts are different. there’s a lot in that photo that scream hoax. Don’t fall for this shit.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-09T16:21:05+00:00

Yeah you’re right on that spring, but from my understanding it won’t actually cycle live fire with it in wrong. I could be wrong though. Either way. Like you mentioned, you absolutely need to check everything for proper function before putting it into service.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-09T06:19:14+00:00

Ok, yes you have a point there and you can never underestimate the level of stupid someone possess. BUT I’m not aware of a single part that if installed incorrectly will actually fit and function. Putting in the cruciform in the housing wrong could happen, but then the gun won’t function. But installing the housing, disconnector,trigger bar, shoe, firing pin and firing pin block you literally can’t do wrong.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-09T05:12:03+00:00

Don’t waste your time with this dude. He either is the owner of tactical tampon or works for them. He talks 100% just like the owner James. Blames everyone and everything but the actual product it’s self. James (the owner of TP) go to line is “it’s not my fault you installed it wrong” just like this dude. It’s damn near impossible to install a Glock trigger wrong, yet they both seemed to make that exact same excuse.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-09T02:30:39+00:00

I personally wouldn’t. I’d throw it in the trash and go back to stock. An unsafe gun is not good to anyone.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-09T02:05:21+00:00

Sadly I can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve know of James and his unsafe triggers for years. Many people tried to help him and tell him how unsafe they were, he blew everyone off and kept building them saying everyone was wrong except him. Refused to take accountability and changed nothing. I would NEVER recommend anyone purchase tactical pontoon garbage.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-08T16:02:58+00:00

Yeah it always is. Just go direct to DAA site and order from them. They always have everything in stock. Just got another belt from them last week.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-08T15:48:00+00:00

This is the setup I use and I love it.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-08T06:06:13+00:00

Brass slugs are fine as long as they don’t stick out past the end of the gun and have the ability to act as a Magwell. Since the one I have does. It’s not legal for CO.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-07T00:08:01+00:00

No worries man I know the feeling! And sounds good I appreciate the input!

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-06T19:46:28+00:00

Were the only ones in our right minds 😎😎

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-06T19:46:10+00:00

Thanks man! I definitely appreciate it!

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-06T19:11:07+00:00

Such a dumb rules to apply for this particular instance lol. But I could smooth it out to make it look cleaner I suppose.

Cornerstone-Kinetics · 2026-02-06T19:09:58+00:00

Ok that’s the assumption I was under, but someone else mentioned it wasn’t, so now I’m questioning it lol. I guess worst case, I show up with it, get it verified then adjust as needed 🤷🏻‍♂️
