This is all good input, thanks.
It really does seem that there is no "good" reason NOT to have some sort of optics. "Cover all your bases".

"Don't ever trust a man who doesn't like John Wayne. A man's opinion of John Wayne is a good rule-of-thumb test of his character and moral values. To admire John Wayne is to admire the heroic and the morally noble. To sneer at John Wayne is to admire the opposite."
So I ask, are you a John Wayne man or a Woodie Allen guy?

RDS...... I have tried and tried and can't my brain work with both eyes open without a dot.
Aside from advantages in low-light and speed, a quality RDS excels when in unconventional shooting positions.

Predeployment nightfire qual for me was a nightmare. Lights on, get your sightpicture, hold it, lights off, shoot. I was one of the last ones to qualify and I qualified expert on everything else, very rarely did I need more than 1 try. M4, M9, 240, 249, AT 4, MK19, 203.

I love iron sights and hate bulky/heavy guns, but an RDS for a serious business weapon is far far superior to irons, especially in really low light or near-darkness where you just cant see your irons at all.
Yes at accross the room distances you don't need sights of any kind and point shooting is the rule, but as distance increases beyond those very short ranges the RDS can still get the job done - if you can see the target at all then you can put a round on it even at longer ranges.
RDS is extremely quick also - put the dot on it and fire.
