Can you be as fast with irons as a red dot? Overall, no. In some cases at certain distances, yes, big comma- it is going to take ALOT of time to achieve this. Time that most people, unless you do what I do, don't have. Also, consider the cost of ammo to get to that level vs. the price of a quality red dot. With all that said, more later on the speed/distance thing.
Can irons do all that red dots can do if the shooter has the time to practice ALOT? No. Big period. While I was able to eventually keep up (after 3 months of hard practice) with irons with some seriously good shooters using red dots, there are a few spots where it is just not possible:
(1) shooting on the move to the weak side
(2) shooting any position that moves the sights away from
a traditional position- straight up, in front of your
face.
(3) Any low light situation
(4) Any situation where you are winded
