About This Episode:
In this episode of the Concealed Carry Podcast, I debunk 11 common misconceptions about red dots on pistols while my co-host Jacob is at the NRA show. I clarify key terms, explain the efficiency of modern optics with features like shake awake technology, and address concerns about reliability and durability.

Drawing from personal experiences, I demonstrate that training with red dots is manageable and share practical tips for effective use in defensive situations. My goal is to provide accurate insights, dispel myths, and inspire confidence in adopting red dot technology within the concealed carry community.

As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to [email protected]!
