Dot sight?

I have a ex friend who can hit a rock at 425 with one.
He is the best free hand shooter I have ever met…
Too bad he turned into a Willy……

Problem is ....well my arms are a bit shorter then the average persons I guess so I gotta get my head wayy back past being comfortable . Was able to took though some Burris and Leupolds and it's about the same




Any suggestions ? Maybe a scout scope ?

Move scope / mounts forward?

maybe a scout scope but I would start by , turn the magnification all the way down.
stand up strait , feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and push out to full extension while standing tall so that your arms are strait both of them making a nice triangle , rotate your shoulders forward a bit as well.

does that get you enough distance off the scope to see?

I find most pistol scopes to be too short of eye relief , but I have you by over a foot and ape arms to go with

I would also try an extended rail from EGW and a cantilever front mount , these are what I use to get rifle scopes so that the back of the scope is even with the trigger

but you want to know if you are going to be close , if that inch and a half you might gain will be enough to spend the coin.

grab a yard stick , figure out exactly where you can see through it by clamping it in the vice or something like that , padded jaws now from your eye brow to the back of the scope what do you need to get to see right.

now hold the gun where it is natural with your eyes close and get your wife to measure where you want to be from the back edge of the frame , now you have a reference to work from.

now you can use your numbers to make a better decision

and when you go to a store a little pocket tap measure held to the side of the scope as you hold it out and look through , with the other end held to your eyebrow will tell you what you need to see through each scope.
