@Jolly , got any opinion on red dot sight that you don't mind sharing?
I wear prescription glasses, and as I age, it will only get increasingly more challenging and slower for my eyes to switch focus between far things (targets) and near things (iron sights). So I am researching red dot sight as a potential aid to help with my vision. Any thought or recommendation on red dot sight one way or another?

That's a laser. Ax wants a dot site.
Vortex for cheap. Trijicon if you want to spend the money.

Once the mass murders start everybody’s going to feel very guilty about all the advice they gave the guy who kidnapped Ax and stole his identity

I'm waiting for Ax to tell us which gun he ended up buying....

I believe he has a Walther or a Sig.

In the early novels, Bond did not carry a PPK. What did he carry?

I've only read a couple of the books, but there's a scene in one of the old Sean Connery movies where after being injured he tries to take his old gun (a Beretta), but M won't let him and forces him to take the Walther.

He charged the weapon again, loaded it, put up the safety catch and dropped it into the shallow pouch of the shoulder-holster. ”

A model 418, to be exact. 25ACP, a mouse gun. Customized for Bond with a threaded barrel (for a suppressor), grips removed and sites ground off. Fleming carried a 418 during the war.

Still hurts.
You know, I've seen more people killed with small calibers than with larger calibers. A lot more.

I used to carry a .25. I guarantee if someone pulls one on you, you will not think 'Pshaw! That's just a baby gun!'.

The industry did.
I retired my .25 when they came out with a .380 on the same size platform.
Miss Elsie Pea and I are good friends.

My cousin gave me a gun that size, made by Smith & Wesson. I tried to shoot it, but i couldnt put my index finger in the trigger hole and hold the butt in my hsnd at the same time. I tried to shoot it by putting my middle finger in the trigger hole, but I couldn't get it in passed the second joint. Even then, when I tried to squeeze the trigger it lifted the gun out of my hand. I finally managed to pull the trigger but a. It lifted the butt halfway out of my hand and made it impossible to control where I shot, and b. The top piece flipped back and tore a chunk of skin out in that web between the thumb and the index finger. Thats why i call it a little girl's gun. I cant see how a grown man could shoot it.
