This is what I run in a Vltor mount.
Ask Grant about M4C discount. He's good people to deal with and since you're in Ohio it will be at you door in like a day or so.

I can second this. I attended a carbine course in May and was the only guy running irons. During the drills the other guys were faster on the target and getting shots off before me. When I sped up my pace trying to keep up with the fire my groups opened up as expected. I just relaxed and slowed back down again and the shots came back in where they should have been. That was first hand proof for me that optics help get you on the target quicker. I'll get one sometime down the road for sure but I still want to get good and be good with the irons for the reasons stated already.

I'm running the Surefire 6P LED in Larue mounts on both of my entry rifles as well as my patrol rifle. It is just a little lacking on searching in open fields or huge warehouse-like structures but still sufficient. It is also not so over-powered that you blind yourself why clearing a residence. A good balance.
Someone might have a better choice for outside lights. I'd be interested in some other options as well, I just don't have the coin lying around to try the different Surefire models.
Only hits count......you can not miss fast enough to catch up
I sincerely wish my eyes still had the capacity to effectively use the irons, but sadly such has not been the case for the past few years now. The front sight is a lollypop that gets fuzzier nearly every time I take the gun to the range.
So yes, I use a red dot ~95% of the time. I lucked out a couple of years ago though, in finding a used Aimpoint Comp ML2 going for something like ~$180. The only problem with it is that in addition to lack of focus with the irons, I also have astigmatism that creates mulitple images with the red dot. They're all in foucs, but I'm not always sure which is the "real" dot. Sometimes it's two dots that look like a little hourglass or dumbell, or three like a little Micky Mouse head. Once or twice I've seen several looking like a bunch of grapes. They will even change as I watch, from my eye deforming under the stresss. Now as an official 50-Something, I guess it's not surprising having vision problems.
I'll still get in some practice with those fuzzy irons, as a matter of principle if nothing else, or from just getting annoyed by the multi-dot.
ETA -- for a light, I have a Surefire G2 on a Viking Tactics mount. Not the most rugged or hi-tech option, but serves my needs and very cost-effective.

don't buy a primary arms, the battery life sucks, the battery last 3 weeks tops even turned off, save for a C3

I'd try to find a used Comp M2, I recently bought one for $300...It isn't the latest and greatest, but its still an effective optic

Ken H. has been teaching short flash for years , although I don't remember him calling it flashbulb back then.
I almost sold out and bought an Aimpoint. I had the Wilcox mount and everything....
That was a close one!![]()
