[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2066249, member: 87243"] I have heard that, many people that have had extensive use of exclusively iron sighted hand guns have a hard time transitioning, and if they do it takes a lot of repetition to perform equally to iron sights. Unfortunately, a lot of law enforcement personnel have relatively very little experience with handguns. Some of the people I have trained had never shot a handgun in their life prior to getting the job!! So it is a pretty tall order to get them battle ready.... In those cases, I think a red dot could help immensely. Also, those with aging eyes that have a hard time focusing the sight picture and target seem to benefit as well. Now, I also believe that all red dot type optics for duty use should be co-witnessed with irons, and one should be proficient with them as well. A dot should be looked at like an accessory, not a requirement. The fall back will always be the irons. [/QUOTE]
