The ART of the pistol. the CAVEMAN RMR

When discussing general firearm ownership with a friend, who works in an area where they can build lots of sandcastles I’ll call him Sagh Rang, mentioned to me a rather obvious technique that I for one have not thought of, is the caveman EOTech can be applied to the everyday carry a handgun.

For some time now I have thought of the Glock slide cover plate as just that a slide cover plate. There are various Slide Cover Plate a Glock owner can purchase nowadays, from flags to skulls to Bible verses to special forces logos.

But as my friend pointed out, and proved in an operation he participated in, the caveman EOTech can be used on the Glock. He pasted a hi-viz target patch onto the back of his Glock. Now a sideline here, I am using the Glock Side Cover Plate cause it is one of the most widely used decorative aftermarket items available if you don't own a Glock, use your imagination on your choice of the blaster.

The term metal on meat is well known and works really well. By using the aftermarket Slide Cover Plate I advise using one as a sighting reference. Hence rather than purchasing one that will magically transform you into a special forces operative or Theologian, use the design/color for your benefit.

I teach my clients to set themselves up for their success, here is a way to further benefit yourself. For intermediate distance engagements drawing your firearm in a low light environment, one is able to quickly reference the Slide Cover Plate in your vision as you focus on the threat. This reference point adds another skill set you can put into your invisible goody bag we carry around and draw upon when needed
