I'm gonna show this to someone in my life, and he is going to think it's amazing and go buy one. His ego is too big to let me teach him to shoot better. He thinks his issue is his gun isn't heavy enough.

Point shooting while using the back plate as an aiming reference has been a thing for forever. Works fine up close. Putting a neon green sticker on your back plate is retarded. Get a red dot, Mr. "2A Ninja."

FFFUUUUUUCCCKKKK it was bid up above my "no go" price.
That said, I found a retailer with one in stock and I'll hopefully get it tomorrow as my bank was being stupid and buying from a new out is state store. Oh and it's LESS than GunBroker plus taxes and shipping
I'll call them tomorrow and get it ordered

Since I've been sperging about the Wildey Survivor lately, here's some Wildey gun pr0n for you fine autists. Currently available in .45 WinMag, .44 AMP, and the mighty .475 Wildey Magnum (formerly the most powerful handgun cartridge until the .500 S&W Magnum came out in the early Aughts) in 8", 10", and 12" lengths. There were other calibers and barrel lengths available for the Wildey years previously, but these are the options that USA Firearms, the current manufacturer and owner of the Wildey patent, offer. It's not the prettiest or most refined handgun designed (my big reason for going for the Auto Mag over the Wildey was It's the prettier gun), but it is really a unique and fascinating piece of engineering, and I believe it was the first gas operated handgun to come to market.

I could see an indoor range slapping these on rentals to keep people from shooting the ceiling. Thats where its utility ends imo. If the argument is that you use it for <3 yards because thats 'too close for irons', the fight is also too close and too fast to stare down at your gun waiting for a green light.

The same guys saying they can't use their sights in a defensive situation also never practice shooting from retention drills

Shooting from retention drills are a good time if you have a willing friend to spar with and an airsoft or a paintball pistol. Try to draw on them as they're trying to wrestle you to the ground.

How is the recoil on these? i've shot some heavy kicking automatics and never cared for them. A revolvers grip shape (in general) seems more suited for heavy recoil, especially the Colt's grip. in my opinion of course.

I've never shot one, unfortunately, but from what I understand it's fairly manageable. It's a big, heavy hunk of stainless steel weighing more than a revolver, it's semi-auto which soaks up some of the recoil, and it has an adjustable gas operating system, so you can tune the gas settings for the load you're firing. And personality, I've always found revolver grips, especially single action grips, to be LESS effective at managing heavy recoil.

that's a hog's leg grip. these are intended to allow the grip to slip with rotation in the hand on big revolvers, but also requires more effort on the part of the shooter at the wrist and knowledge to allow the revolver to rotate with the wrist upwards with the recoil from the shot rather than fight against it which is the typical instinct. combined with a heavy steel frame and barrel, and you can really tame recoil up into heavy .45 colt or .357 magnum it's okay, but any more than that and you will want a "thunderer" grip with a hump at the rear to control rotation. ultimately if you aren't a revolver shooter i would suggest avoiding them in anything but moderate loads in a heavy steel gun.
a target grip fills the palm and spreads the recoil into a larger area and absorbs recoil much better imho, but in heavy calibers like .44 magnum you will want a glove.

I thought the stupid argument of "you don't have time to aim" ended last year after Ken got roasted for his garbage takes on WML and handgun red dots. Now we're at putting a piece of tape on backplates? Some people will do anything to avoid actually going to the range.

I'd like to start a brief discussion about pistol optics and co-witnessing, I've read a lot of conflicting information on the internet on this topic and I was hoping you guys might have some insight.
What is the definition of full co-witness witness versus lower 1/3 co-witness? Does "full" mean that both the dot and the irons line up in the middle of the sight picture?
What about in lower third? Because my 43x is supposedly lower third but the dot and the irons don't seem to line up. I hope you guys can understand what I'm getting at.

Lower 1/3 means your iron sights when deployed will align in the lower 1/3 portion of the optic window. Full co-witness means your iron sights will align in the same axis as your red dot reticle when they are deployed.

So in lower third, my iron sights should be lined up, and my dot should be in the very center correct?

Is the grip taller than it seems? That beavertail looks like it's riding so low I'd need to reach upwards with my finger to reach the trigger.
I agree, single action revolvers seem to have a smoother recoil compared to double action revolvers of the same caliber. The model I've fired the most does have a larger aftermarket grip though, which likely helps eating the recoil.
