https://shop.waltherarms.com/q-series-rds-backup-sights-rmr-footprint Walther finally decided to do something about the lack of the rear sight on Q5. Ian McCollum published a video that explains why the iron sights remain critically important on handguns with optical sights more than 4 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ogBYjTQqk #guns #銃

@gat mine comes with one. Or does that mean have the iron and the optical sight at the same time? I hope this one you're talking about is one of the choices for the free one

@su Take a look at the video that I linked, but skip all the context and start at offset 6 min 20 sec. That is where Ian explains what Walther did wrong initially.

@valleyforge @gat

According to the comments at the time of this 4 year old video, he carried a Glock. Someone said that sounds like mario andretti driving a honda civic

@su @gat I don't think that view is based in reality. Even stock glocks are pretty good pistols and his has a high end slide and a red dot. I think some people don't like glocks because glocks are popular.

@valleyforge @gat I think so, too. I like how they look so boxy, no nonsense and easy to clean
