[QUOTE="L2land, post: 3101242, member: 126164"] The take away from the iron sight vs red dot debate is that you need to practice. I shoot pistols a lot. I feel that if you pick up a gun that you aren’t used to and have a consistent grip fro then it’s an advantage to have irons with a bright front sight to pick up as you bring it up. You can adjust as needed pretty quick without being an expert with that weapon. A red dot is absolutely faster, and accurate faster IF you shoot that weapon a lot and have the grip for it. A red dot will also help you to train your natural pointing of that weapon and to build a consistent good grip. If I pick up a pistol that has a 1911 grip or close to it i know my grip points that weapon where my thumbs are pointed. I could put tape over the sights and hit a 8” plate at 20’ because that’s what I practice with. Whatever it is you carry you should be able to get it drawn and put multiple shots on reasonable size target in a few seconds. [/QUOTE]
