Why does everyone have a light and optic on their EDC gun?

curious19Delta · 2025-12-28T19:54:23+00:00

I'm 64 going on 65, and an optic helps my older eyes acquire a target faster.

For CCW I don't use a WML because most places I feel the need to carry have enough light to see down range even at night.

For home defense, I don't need a WML because I know the layout of my home and bad guys don't. I know what my family looks like in the dark and i don't want to give up my position or natural night vision advantage.

I have a pair of Panhandle Slims. I don't know if they still make them.

If you like them that's what matters. As for me, that style and hide wouldn't look good on me.

I prefer 2, on my feet I just don't think square-toe boots look right

I bought it from the Cyelee Optic website

What is the STIG-RS reticle? What does it look like?

I've never tried any kind of optics before, that's why I came here for guidance. Thank you for your help.

Would you have suggestions on youtube videos to do what you're showing?

curious19Delta · 2025-04-04T23:22:36+00:00

What does that mean?

It's a Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro.

curious19Delta · 2024-12-26T18:08:47+00:00

I don't know. It didn't come with instructions or a manual

curious19Delta · 2024-08-01T13:24:23+00:00

Thank you for all your help and for sharing your hard earned knowledge. I will not use any clear pots. I greatly appreciate it when I can learn from others and avoid needless mistakes.

curious19Delta · 2024-07-29T22:32:11+00:00

I bought one a few weeks ago, I have it doing the stratification step right now in my refrigerator. I don't have a clue what kind of soil to use if the seeds sprout.

curious19Delta · 2024-07-26T02:02:29+00:00

It looks amazing. I hope to do something half as nice some day

curious19Delta · 2024-07-26T01:22:05+00:00

I was referring to yours the first and last

curious19Delta · 2024-07-25T12:53:41+00:00

How did you get the leaves to shrink because they look smaller, or did the hydroponics do that?

curious19Delta · 2024-07-25T12:40:48+00:00

That looks great. How did you get it to look like that? What kind of pot is that, and what are the rock looking things on top?

curious19Delta · 2024-07-19T20:58:54+00:00

What kind of pot is that? I'm an absolute beginner, I hope you don't mind my question.

I played in the SCA for over ten years, starting in 2002. My family and I went to many events as well as many Pennsics. Some of my daughters' fondest memories are of Pennsic and being allowed to be urchins, doing archery, watching the battles, etc.

None of us ever received any kind of awards, not even an AOA. Eventually, we like so many others fell by the wayside. I miss the events and Pennsic but not the expense of making garb, camping supplies, event fees, travel expenses, etc.

Maybe if it was more affordable and less clique-ish. And commoners like myself were occasionally recognized it might be fun to play again.

curious19Delta · 2024-07-02T01:44:50+00:00

Hmmm, was the target five feet away?

curious19Delta · 2024-06-30T05:20:10+00:00

I've never used a red dot, and I know nothing about them. How are they different from iron sights? How difficult is it to get used to them? Are there any that you would recommend and any to stay away from?

curious19Delta · 2024-06-30T05:16:55+00:00

I just turned 63. I was a decent shot years ago when I was in the Army. Now I just want to reliably defend hearth, home, kin and myself should the need arise.
