This arguement has already been covered a zillion times, but it's always good to revisit it. I've never been outshot by anyone with a RDS. Now, I'm sure that there are shooters out there who could smoke me with an Aimpoint, but I haven't had it happen yet. There's a false assumption that if you run irons that you have to do a sight alignment for contact distance shooting.
But you can actually just use the tip of the front sight post the same way you'd use a dot and get hits just as fast, or faster than a dot at contact distances.
Even KevinB has stated that he is slightly faster with irons, but the dot gives him advantages in less than optimal shooting conditions.
I don't get all assed up if someone wants to go straight to an AIMpoint right out of the gate. It's just annoying when you show up to class and half the guys there can't even get a decent group with their irons or their aimpoint for that matter.
To me, if you learn how accurate the AR can be with irons, you can expect and demand a higher level of accuracy when you use a dot.
