So it is a balmy 18 degrees F here in Arkansas today with freezing rain. I have become immersed in the red dot world as I transition to it on my pistols. More and more students are showing up rocking red dots. While I have many hours with rifle and optics in the cold and heat, not near as much real world with pistol and red dot. The Marine in me took one look at weather outside today and thought, what a great day to test myself and my equipment! (Embrace the suk)I grabbed my trusty SIG 320 EDC that has a DPP mounted on it and hit the range. Equipment preformed flawlessly. Very little effect overall. So I shot a string while hands were warm and then shot a string after removing gloves and letting hands go basically numb. Note to self, shooting a rifle with cold hands is much easier than pistol! As picture depicts, dramatic reduction in ability to accurately shoot pistol When hands are cold. As “Bossman“ preached to us one fine miserable rainy night as our team moaned and bi**d, “Boys, we don’t fight on golf courses on sunny days” Train when ya can!
