i ended up taking off the paint from the rear sights last night...it didn't look good
kept the paint on the front sight though since that one dried pretty well.

anyone here done any IDPA? are there entry fees and stuff? I've looked at 2 local sites that host IDPA but they don't list fees

I haven't participated in any pistol or rifle competition events, but I have been taking handgun training courses that are specific to concealed handgun techniques. The only prize is that hopefully you won't shoot yourself in the foot (or worse) and be able to shoot a bad guy if that situation ever arose. The training is pretty enjoyable because they set up interesting shooting scenarios.

I bet IDPA events would be fun though!

Imperial, I had that same Bushnell scope. Not bad at all for the $. Ended up selling it and getting a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x. Take a look at that scope too, you might like it!

I checked it out, it doesn't quite have the aesthetics I prefer but thanks for the tip. If anything I would replace it with their StrikeFire model or the Burris XTS 135
