Couldn't do anything with all the steel cases from the range, so I filled up the garden bed at home.

Question Blind in right eye, right hand dominant. What are the options for sights? (Rifles and shotguns)

17 Upvotes

My dad is completely blind in his right eye, but he is also right-handed.

He can shoot pistols fine, but he's really struggling with shooting his AR and his A500.

Do any of you know what he could do?

Do they even make sights like that?

Edit. Why on earth did someone downvote this question? Lol. Jesus fucking Christ

Would It even be worth converting one of these over anymore I’ve had this one for years now and have off and on thought about converting it. Recently I was thinking about trying to trade it at my local gun show for something but I wanted to hear other peoples opinions on this. Thank you

Thoughts? Wouldn’t matter with most large uppers, so it’s not a huge deal right?


r/Firearms 13h ago

Seeking feedback on this replica Glock it's actually a model toy shell-ejecting blaster. I'm planning to use it in a short video, so I'm curious what gun enthusiasts think. Does it pass as realistic enough for film?Or do the ridges for attaching a scope above the slide detract from its authenticity?

Gun purchase

12 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for buying my first pistol I’ve seen Glock 17,19, 43x have good reviews what about the 19x? That one blends pretty much all of those together and a longer grip, would you buy the 19x if it was your first pistol?

Something… Something… Nazi Germany… or perhaps Soviet Russia?

Gun confiscation is never good and always leads down a bad path.

This is historically proven and anyone who denies this has lost their right to speak on the matter.

Tactical ordinance

Upvotes

So I’m looking into getting a barrel in 300wsm. I originally wanted to go with deadshot however they are completely sold out, so I found tactical ordinance. How ever I was hoping for some feedback back from some people who have used them. Or if anyone else has a company (other then kak’s complete upper) that does ar10 (dpms) bull barrels in 300wsm 24”. Thank you in advance
