  1. I feel your pain. As part of my cataract surgery, I chose to have my right (shooting) eye set for close up and my left eye for distance. So, for pistol only competitions (IDPA, USPSA, etc.), I shoot iron sights. However, when I shoot multi-gun, I need to see distance and so, I put in a 1x contact lens in my right eye and shoot all guns with optics. ?
  2. A red dot on a pistol is more accurate than iron sights. The typical complaint people have with them is "finding the dot". This is simply a case of not doing enough dry fire practice. If you practice enough, you should be able to bring the gun up from the holster with your eyes closed and open them to see your dot in the window. When I first started to practice, I found that the dot was too low. I trained myself to bring the nose of the gun up by pulling up on my strong hand wrist. With practice, this is now my natural draw. Good luck.
  3. Venom is a great optic. I run them on all of my 3-gun (Open) gear (9mm pistol, Benelli M4, and BCM AR). After a few years of abuse, the one on my pistol stopped working, turned out to be the battery contact plate had come loose. Sent it back to Vortex (No BS Warranty) and they sent me a new one.
  4. What JustM4s removed was NOT a collapsible stock. It looks the same but is a fixed length.
  5. They can be on there very tight. Try this, with the trigger group removed (assume you have but just making sure), sit down, hold pistol grip between your knees, then use both hands to twist the receiver off.
  6. I ghost load all of the time in 3-gun competition. It is still a complex operation. I pull the bolt all the way back, drop one shell in the chamber (muzzle pointed down), then bring the bolt back to half closed and feed the ghost round under the bolt then down on the lifter. Drop the bolt and go.
  7. It is normal, and a good sign, that the pistons fall in both directions.
  8. I removed both the sight and the rail; then, reversed the direction of the rail and cut off the overhang. This puts the optic where the sight was. Yes there are open holes where the rail used to sit. Has no effect.
  9. I don't like investing in tools that I will rarely ever use. I remove this clip with a small, flat head screwdriver and reinstall with vice grips and a hammer. First, I set the vice grips to be just wider than the shaft. Next, I place the clamp on the shaft and center the (sideways) vice grips over the clamp. A few light taps with the hammer (on the side of the vice grips) and it's on. Have done this many times over the years.
  10. IMHO, all GG&G parts are inferior. I had one of their bolt handles break off during cycling.

    Bolt release

    Note that installation requires drilling and tapping factory carrier latch.
  12. To remove the charging handle, just twist and pull.
  13. Here is a third recommendation for the Mesa Urbino.
  14. No, no mods needed to run low brass. However, it did take a few hundred rounds to get fully broken in.
  15. Not a single cycling issue. All shells ejected after firing and the bolt locked open after last shot. The mechanism only engages when the bolt gets to about 3/4 open. Therefore, it is at its strongest when the bolt is fully open. There are 4 springs to select from to get your final pressure. If your load is too light for a given spring, drop down one power until it cycles consistently.
  16. I tried mine two weeks ago with a variety of shells to get a feel for which spring to use. There is a significant recoil reduction with all of the high brass loads; however, with low brass, I don't know if the third spring is even engaged (Including your stock spring, there are three springs in the recoil reduction system). I shot a three gun match on Sunday and used the gun with the recoil reduction system. The gun ran flawlessly, no issues with chamberring. I only use my M4 for competition and I only run low brass ammo. The recoil reduction is not significant with low brass. Again, you feel it with high brass shells. I will put mine up for sale. Ordering from Zahal, it will cost you $134 ($150 and 12% off/free shipping offer) and take 2 months for delivery from Israel (the hold up is through Turkey). You can have mine for $120, shipped.
  17. The space is so tight that I made my own wrench out of a scrap metal.
  18. I have been using one for over a year. No issues.
  19. Do you want just the button or the button with the pre tapped shell stop? I have the button (with screw) if you want to tap your existing shell stop. Yours for $20 shipped within the CONUS.
