Seems like there would be something better.
It's a (medical) staple remover - for skin staples (in place of sutures). Not the ideal choice. :?

Re: Big Dot sights?

While I cant speak to the handgun sight, for what it's worth I've got a Trijicon RX30 with a 6.5 dot on a short long gun. I did it for the same reason (my eyes). It works well up close, but damn... target is somewhere behind that big a$$ dot at any distance. Depends on what your trying to do I guess

There are Bears up here too, though I've yet to see one. Apparently one tore the $h!t out of my neighbors porch. Not sure what his problem with a porch was.. LOL

Re: Big Cats

I "was" carrying a 642, but I'm not gonna lie - the G20 saw some light this week. That being said, I'll probably be back to the .38 by next week... We just day hike at best, both are strong side OWB, but concealed.

Re: Mitigating ricochets?

That being said, have a plan should a zinger come out of nowhere or someone has a ND. IFAK or a couple of pressure bandages can come in handy when you need them.
