So two of my handguns have rails and mounting spaces for any number of goofy tacticool stuff. But none of it has appealed to me at all. I shoot just fine without an optic. Lasers seem like a gimmick that don’t work either because the dot isn’t visible enough or because the dot never stays zeroed. And a flashlight doesn’t seem necessary when I can just also hold a flashlight. Is there anything I’m not considering that might be more useful?

An underbarrel shotgun would be awesome but I doubt they’re made small enough for a pistol lol

If it helps at all answer, my guns are largely for shooting at ranges, and also for the hopefully never self-defense situation.

    pistol red dots make a noticeable difference in competition shooting, “behind” or not. if your pistol is for “self-defense” statistically you’re shooting from close enough range that irons don’t fall off.
