    I dont think he was being serious just cracking a joke. Also their are plenty of benefits of having a carbine for home defense maybe do some searching around and read some of the information if you are interested.

    But back on topic no I do not have a RDS and a scope for he same rifle. I just got into shooting long range and have purchased a Larue QD mount for my .308ar at some point down the road I will probably pick up a RDS for it, maybe if I upgrade my colt to a Aimpoint micro ill move my current RDS to the 308.

    Is there a reason you don't want both on the rifle and immediately available? On a current 6.8 project, I'll be doing exactly what you're asking about, because it will be primarily used for hunting and patrol work. I plan to have a Vortex Viper PST in a LaRue QD mount, and an Aimpoint H1 on a LaRue QD base, depending on the mission of the day.

    My Noveske 5.56 wears both at the same time and it does work well, if a little less "snag free".

    Hey brother, he was being sarcastic. He was poking fun at how all the "thugs" today all want a Glock Fo Tee to try to get street cred, not knocking your choice of handgun.

    Who has a RDS and a scope for the same rifle?

    Yes, I do have two different optics for the same rifle.

    On my 14.5" "work clone", I run both a TA01 and a CompM4 because those are what I have at my disposal at work. The mission drives the gear and I like not only having options, but actually being proficient with them.

    And yes, I have swapped optics on deployment to meet individual mission requirements. Necessary? That's debatable...but still, the mission drives the gear.

    Sorry, I missed the sarcasm. Anyway, I like my setup as it works well for me. If I had more cash to spend on my hobby, I would buy more and nicer, but the rest of my spending is tasked to other priorities for the foreseeable future.

    Yea man... i wasn't being serious. I carry a Glock22. From what I have gathered 9mm is "cooler" on the forums anyways. I wouldn't try to argue that the .40cal is far superior to the 9mm but I started out with a .40 and I have always liked it fine.

    I have an aimpoint compm2 and an acog ta01

    I use the aimpoint if I know I'm shooting less than 100 yards that day, and the acog for 100+

    And always practice with my irons in both situations as well
