    I have this red dot and it works perfectly, I back it up with a fsb and KAC micro rear sight.

    I have a Aimpoint PRO, Trijicon MRO, and a Leopold for Red Dots. I have Aero Precision, Midwest Industries, and Diamondhead for Irons. I don't feel I need to back up my RDS, but I have been shamed into doing it.

    I did read thru the entire thread and did not see MI or Diamondhead mention, but I could have easily missed them. If no one likes them that's okay too. I do.

    I was eyballing a Diamonhead rear sight real close before deciding on Troy. I like the way you can choose which aperture is immediately deployed when you flip it up.

    I found it slightly quicker to acquire sight alignment on target with the Diamondhead, for me anyway, but they seem bulkier than others. Still I am partial to them.

    Magpul or Troy here.

    I was in a carbine class last year and my optic mount loosened up and started wobbling. (A brand mentioned 1000x already where the optic comes with the mount from the factory)

    I switched to the backups and was able to finish the drill.

    Nobody is psychic no optic is perfect. Always have some kind of buis.

    Whereas I would have just stepped off the line, gone back to the fiddle table and reinstalled my optic.

    So you would have worked a gun at a table up range while everyone else was down range?

    And in situations where some of us spend/spent time on a two way range and not afforded such luxury?

    Yes. For the 60 seconds it would take me to re-tighten my Aimpoint PRO.

    You, in the course of your daily life, may be faced with having to defend your life with your rifle on a two-way range. The chances that that would ever be part of my life are vanishingly small.

    I don't know how you address your perception of your daily risk - it doesn't affect me. If a gunfight with your rifle is a realistic possibility in your world then I certainly agree that redundancy is prudent and would recommend BUIS to you. I live a much less dangerous life and for me BUIS is an unnecessary complication.
