Does this rest really work with handguns and if so how well, I do have rifles but would be using it primarily with handguns. ThanksTom

I found that if the front is disconnected from the rear stand, the front portion alone works well with a riffle, i.e. worked as a shooting bag with 3 dimensional adjustment . It serves well for pointing the gun. I have not tested with a hand gun but I think it will work very well too.

I've only used my rest with wood stocked rimfire rifles. I'm guessing that a lot of heat might effect the padded portion of the rest, but that could be dealt with, I think with some insulating material between the rest and the hot barrel or whatever.

Sorry...no experience with firearms. Seems well built..no idea if it would handle your application well. Good luck.

I use it for my full size 45 ACP,1911 Government model of all my holsters it works the very best. I've lost weight, but, when I first tried it I was pushing 300 and only 6' tall. I wore it all day and did not experience any difficulty and this was while we were on the road and we had stopped and hiked some trails too. I like that rig a lot.

In my estimation you don't really need a rifle rest. I'm 65 years old and don't like carrying in extra stuff as I had to pack it in a little over a mile. You can rest on the bar that goes around in front of you. I shot a 4X4 muley at about 50 yds with mine using a muzzle loader and a red dot sight this year from my Summit Viper SD. He crossed in front of me and dropped about 25yds later after being hit through both lungs.

If the leg elevation locks won't tighten, that is a product defect. If the rifle rest platform on top moves some, I think that is part of the design, so you can move the aim point around without fiddling with screws and locking hardware. It is not supposed to be a bench rest - including bench and sandbags those must weigh more than 100 pounds.

It works with a riser but frankly I found the layout and design not usable for my shooting needs or my physical build or shooting style. 45deg rails, peep sights and a true tac scope / laser system. Didn't break the bank.

Hello. I use mine with a S&W; 380 Bodyguard and a Ruger LCP. It works well with both. Hope this helps.

It should work just as good. I've used it with a S&W Body Guard .380. A better holster I've found and presently using is Remora Holster. This one is more versatile since it can be used in side a pocket or inside the waistband carry. Give Remora a look, they run sales at times.

I would only use this device on handguns. If thou want something for a rifle get a dot scope that is rated for rifles.

If your vest is for suty use, I would say don't use this holster. The retention isn't good enough. It can't be set up for low ride either. I use a CR speed belt for IPSC and it is fine when I use my chest rig for carbine. I am not law inforcement, but this is what my law enforcement guys comment. I also don't use the paddle version. I use the belt loop version.

I scoped a couple 22LR Rem 597's so far and it worked fine. I know several other members in our gun club would like to use it as a bench rest for their rifles. Haven't had a AR-15 on it yet. This item is just low cost rest and it seems to be a good value so far.

I put it on my rifle and it worked perfect. I personally don't think it's high at all. It's very comfortable for me.

Yes I have a LC9 with the Crimson Trace Laser,works great. I have used the barrel rest and removed that and used just the hand rest with good results on both. For the money it's a great rest.

Yes. That's the exact set up I have. I mounted this and it have a huge difference. Without the pad, the recoil was pretty harsh since the rifle is so light.

I used this with a Glock 19 and it wasn't as easy as I had expected. It is a great rest but it becomes less practical as the gun gets smaller. That said, I love mine but I am shooting more revolvers and full size autos with it.

Hi. I am not sure how this rest would do for instinctive shooting. I mounted this on. A compound. For my instinctive shooting I use my homemade longbow with a carved shelf I did. And i don't look down the arrow. I point and shoot. Sorry couldn't be much help.
