Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Went to Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday determined to get a red dot for my Glock 17. I say determined because I have astigmatism and all the ones I've looked at in the past showed a starburst instead of a dot. Thought I'd try the higher end ones as I'd heard their dots were crisper and also green dots were better for astigmatism. For me, all the above is hogwash, even the $550 Trijicon. Anyway they had lots of powder, including Alliant, which had been scarce, all in the mid/high $30 to $50 per lb. No Unique though. Then I spied a lone pack of Cheddite 209's, don't need those, but also five packs of Fiocchi small pistol. Picked up four packs (limit 2 per customer, but my wife was with me). Noticed they were priced at $8.25 each. A couple of months ago I picked up 4 packs of Federals at $5.50 each. Thought wow, these Fiocchi's must be some of those all X-ring match grade. No, but there were 150 in each pack. So, I got 600 to go with the 400 Federals I picked up, 1,000 small pistol primers for $55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo B. Fetterman Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 507 green holosun and the 2moa Aimpoint h2 have been ok for me for avoid starburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Tried the 507c and 507k in green. With the c I got a circle dot imposed and slightly offset over another circle dot. With the k I got a fuzzy circle dot that filled the entire screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I found the dot "flair" goes away when I take off the normal glasses and wear uncorrected shooting glasses. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I had a post about Fiocchi primers a couple weeks ago. I bought a sleeve of 150 for $14.00. I asked if anyone used them. The results were they’re fine but maybe be a little harder than Federal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Sportsman's Warehouse doesn't get primers very often and, when they do, they limit to two packs per person. But their prices are half of what anyone else charges. Moral of story, Take a non-reloading friend or two with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilli GaHoot Galoot Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I know not everyone will agree, but as a starburst seeing shooter I think the issue is hugely overrated for EDC. I went with a 2moa Holosun 507k on my S&W shield and find that if I put the red blob on the part I want the hole in it works pretty well. That being said, I find a Eotech on a rifle to be like a night at the planetarium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
