This has been a crazy year. I can’t believe it’s already October. I haven’t posted in a while and figured I’d get back into it.
Earlier this year I woke up one morning and couldn’t really see out of my right eye (my dominant eye). It was like someone had taken a piece of wax paper and covered my eye with it. Kinda worrisome, right? Well, if you’ve had this happen to you, you know that my problem was that I had developed a cataract.
So, a few thousand dollars and a pretty neat surgery later I now have 20/15 distance vision in that eye and no more astigmatism.
While my distance vision is great, I still have problems focusing up close so glasses are still an everyday thing. I can see the sights better with uncorrected vision, but not great. So I decided to go back to something I tried a few years ago – a pistol with a mini red dot sight (MRDS) installed. I have a good Chief and he allowed me to buy a new top end for my duty gun and carry it at work.
Here’s what I ended up with:
Many of my future posts will chronicle my journey towards mastering this setup.
Until next time. Be safe and carry your gun.
