I like irons, but I see the usefulness of my red-dot. If I had to use my AR for home defense, my max range would be approx 100 yards. I know the various zeroes...to the big tree, to the driveway, from my bedroom to the room down the hall, etc., so I would be comfortable with shooting iron sights in that scenario. Otherwise, since I have never had to use my AR for home defense, and since my primary HD weapon is a dog followed by a pistol, the chance I would have to use my AR for HD is very, very infantismal. So, about the only time I 'play' with my red-dot sight is at the range. But I could go either way.
