Stock. Nothing fancy. And like many shooters, I learned the fundamentals on irons. Even now, years later, I still see the grounding value in starting this way. Why? Because once you learn to shoot well with irons, moving to a pistol optic is like unlocking a cheat code. Iron sights force you to build proper mechanics. Sight picture on irons is all about equal height, equal light. You want the top of the front sight post even with the top of the rear notch, with equal light visible on either side of that post. Some sights hit point of impact at the very top of the front post, others dead center of the front dot. Add in the options—fiber optics, tritium night sights, U-notch vs. square notch—and you can quickly disappear down the rabbit hole. Each has its place. When I train new shooters, I almost always start them on irons. Because later, when they add an optic, everything feels easier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/883d26e4-e493-4a6f-87d6-faa2a1593b8b/Red+Dot+Sight.png Notes from the Wall - Irons or Optics – Still a Relevant Question? - Why Optics Feel Like a Cheat Code Here’s the advantage of optics: you zero it once, and from then on, you literally place the dot on the target and pull the trigger. No worrying about equal height or equal light. No aligning three planes of focus. Optics also let you keep both eyes open, maintaining target focus rather than front sight focus. That makes a huge difference in speed and accuracy. My own experience mirrors this: I was a decent shooter with irons, but once I moved to optics, my draw times and accuracy improved significantly. But optics aren’t foolproof. If you mount them wrong, if you don’t zero properly, or if your optic doesn’t hold zero, your results will frustrate you. Done right—either on your own or by a professional—they are invaluable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/931eff4f-1fa4-43f6-ab87-27da28f3b854/Holosun+Showcase.png Notes from the Wall - Irons or Optics – Still a Relevant Question? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sellyourcloak.org/notes-from-the-wall/20k-rounds-later-with-ace-xr monthly 0.5 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/cd35845d-f941-4711-807d-3fb7891ad154/Ace+XR+Shadow+Systems+MR920_2.jpeg Notes from the Wall - 20k+ Rounds Later with Ace XR A few weeks ago, I came across a YouTube video from ShotShow 2025 showing off the Ace XR system. Yeah, I know—I’m late to the party. Life happens. Still, the concept was too interesting to ignore: dry-fire practice in VR, with a handset that looks, feels, and even weighs like your real pistol. That’s more than just a gimmick—it’s training brought into your living room. I had just sold a couple of gaming consoles and had some “gun account” money set aside (you know you’ve got one too). So I pulled the trigger—pun intended—and ordered an Ace XR handset along with a Meta Quest 2. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/e1ff319d-3459-4023-9b2c-d01a3b6fff27/Ace+XR+Handgun+Models.png Notes from the Wall - 20k+ Rounds Later with Ace XR - Make it stand out All models currently offered from Ace XR.

As of writing this, I’ve logged 23,428 shots—a little over $7,000 worth of ammo saved. That alone pays for the ~$400 system several times over. And honestly—you can’t get this kind of repetition at a flat range unless you own one. Closest outdoor spot near me is an hour away and runs $20–$30 a session, plus gas and ammo. I simply can’t do that every day. With Ace XR, I can get 15 minutes to an hour (or sometimes two) of range time daily without leaving the house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/3f2a0795-6143-43b4-96e7-31265f7b37ab/Ace+XR+Rifle.jpeg Notes from the Wall - 20k+ Rounds Later with Ace XR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sellyourcloak.org/notes-from-the-wall/live-fire-training-verifying-your-dry-fire monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://www.sellyourcloak.org/notes-from-the-wall/first-shots-shadow-systems-xr920-combat-optics-ready-review monthly 0.5 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/0406285a-8a30-4d1b-840f-e6c762e380e4/IMG_3823.jpeg Notes from the Wall - First Shots: Shadow Systems XR920 Combat Optics Ready Review - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/1e490ffd-6221-47de-b06f-d2e0585b32d8/IMG_3830.jpeg Notes from the Wall - First Shots: Shadow Systems XR920 Combat Optics Ready Review - Accuracy & Trigger I’m no marksman, but after roughly 80 rounds I was grouping 10 shots into 4 inches at 15 yards on an NRA pistol instructor qualifier target. That passes. The trigger is what Glock shooters wish their stock triggers felt like. Flat-faced aluminum, clean take-up, defined wall, crisp break, short reset. All the Glock reliability with none of the mush. Follow-ups were quick, and the dot was always right back where I needed it. Final Thoughts So what do I think of the Shadow Systems XR920? Full transparency—I can see myself replacing my Glock 47 with this as a duty weapon for private security details and church security. That’s a big statement for me. I’ve always been better with full-size grips, and the XR920 delivers that without sacrificing accuracy from its shorter slide. Of course, I’ll probably keep the Glock too… but the XR920 has earned its spot. Bottom line: If you’re on the fence about Shadow Systems—don’t be. They may not have Glock’s decades-long history yet, but they’re building something special. And they’re building it right here in Texas. https://www.sellyourcloak.org/notes-from-the-wall/sharpen-the-sword-handgun-grip monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6883a84221c67069d79fef65/1754999281419-0T1Y6KV007AHF4YYIHKO/IMG_3807.jpeg Notes from the Wall -
