I'm not really enjoying the experience so far of having an optic on my faithful G34, I went from being fairly competent with irons to shooting like a noob for just $350. Couple times I turned the dot off and just used the irons to make sure I really wasn't dreaming and that I can actually shoot.
I'm dumping shots low/left like I have zero trigger control, and fully expect someone to tell me to buy an apex trigger or some crap at any moment. Very frustrating.
My working theory is that the only time I look at the target when firing is on targets that are extremely close where trigger press doesn't matter. My brain says "well, if you're looking at the target now then I'm just going to slap this trigger even if it's 15 yards away because you're obviously not looking at the sights". Doesn't happen dryfire, only live when I'm thinking about other stuff.
Anyway, I'm giving it 6 months to see what happens. Going to run it in the IDPA match on Saturday, fully expect it to cost me significantly in overall standing since I really don't know what I'm doing. If it's really bad, maybe I'll just turn it off. No one will know I'm shooting CO with no O.
