How does human vision actually work and should the sights on our guns work with or against the natural tendencies of our eyes? Once more we are joined by our friend Louis Caras for a deep discussion about pistol sights.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul considers the recent history of GWoT and how it affected and changed the firearms industry. Also, how did things change after GWoT?
For this week's Coffee Corner Paul and Louis will consider the book, Guns of the Cold War. How did we move from the steel and hardwood firearms of WWII to the aluminum and polymer firearms that we have today?
Three Dot sights suck and here is why. Paul recently ruffled the feathers of soy-fed mangina taking up space in the gun community. It's not enough to understand that 3 Dot sights are pointless and stupid, we need to consider the actual science behind why they are such.
