Nice! BSA is really not that bad....love how they package their optics to come in mini ammo cans.

Can't go wrong with a Glock 27. I went for my PPS in .40 today. I carry a heavier bullet when winter comes around and bad guys wear more layers of clothing.View attachment 289175

Weather shouldn't dictate bullet weight consideration (in this application), only penetration (IB Frank TWSS) regardless of time of year. Same bullet weight year round here, 0 to 120. Besides if you can only see their head, between the eyes it is...

Ummm.......heavier bullets do not really penetrate deeper. For example, a 9mm bullet is FAR lighter than a .45acp bullet. But here are some test results.

BULLET PENETRATION - INCHES OF PLYWOOD (test blocks made up of half inch
boards)

9mm Parabellum Inches

123 grain FMJ 4.4"
115 grain JHP +P+ 3.0"
115 grain JHP 2.7"
115 grain Silvertip 2.5"
80 grain Glaser 2.0"

.45 ACP Inches

230 grain FMJ 2.8"
200 grain JHP 2.4"
185 grain JHP 2.4"
185 grain Silvertip 1.7"
135 grain Glaser 1.3"

So....come winter, you might actually want a round that flies lighter and much faster. If you really want to talk about penetration (aka car doors) you should be looking at .357 or .44.....10mm might get the job done if you have the right loads.

Otherwise....just carry and use what you are most accurate and effective with.

For a budget sight, it is spot on.

Anyone else here watch Demolition Ranch on youtube?

Bang for buck they are great. They hold true, have like 5 different color and power settings, and are built strong. Bit heavy....but they work. And for under $100....can't possibly go wrong.

I can't use BSA scopes after paying for decently good glass. It spoils you. I won't buy the top end stuff, I don't want to financially ruin myself.

I don't like their red dots. For unmagnified I'd rather pay the same and get more from a company like Primary Arms.

Here and there. Some of his stuff is gold. Some not so much. But it's all just him ****in around on the ranch, so hell yeah!
