That's about all the accuracy you'll need for your average civilian encounter.
Agreed. And do it with whatever you are competent and comfortable with whether it be irons or RDS.
For me, RDS is the only way to go because of my poor eyesight. My Aimpoint helps me tremendously.
I wear glasses all the time. Can't see without them. I've even went so far as to do some shooting without my glasses. (Thinking of a middle of the night ordeal and don't have time to grab glasses) At 15 yds, shooting quickly, I can hit an IDPA target with the irons but impacts are all over the place. Not so with the RDS. I can put all rounds in center mass and that is what you want.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” –Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764
