I don't know if it's because of my astigmatism or what, but after using a dot the last couple of years and a few competitions I have concluded that I'm far more accurate with the irons. I love the concept of a dot for quick target acquisition, but they just don't work for my pistol shooting. Oddly enough I don't seem to struggle with dots on my rifles. 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone else had this experience? Are there ways of using a dot successfully with astigmatism? I've used both red and a green dots.

It's some time in the future and aliens from another galaxy have left the planet in ruins, unleashing an army of xeno-zombies. Half of society is gone, and the other half are left to fight for survival. The problem is you got stranded at your cousin's house with their random arsenal of weapons. You and the group you are with each get one rifle, and one secondary to choose from. What are you picking and why?

*California residents can only choose from options D because LOLs.

These were on sale for $30 so I decided to give it a try. Best case scenario is I like it, and scored a lightweight metal handguard. Worst case scenario I'm out the price of a bougie burger combo meal.

What I like about it so far - it is RIDICULOUS how light this metal is. I swear it weighs about as much as this tab of cardboard from the box it came in. It was also super easy to install. I also like the finish and color of the handguard. We'll see how the finish holds up after some abuse. I'll have an update after a few hundred rounds and some training that I'll respond to this post with.

Outside of this handguard, I don't know much about Trybe. So far so good, though!
