Gary made the comment in the CSX thread below about red dots on your carry pistol. I just can’t seem to get into that idea as it’s battery powered (so it can fail) and it’s bulky, to say the least. I just prefer sights….and even as I get older and my “up close” vision requires readers, for self defense we’re talking bad-breath distances anyway, are we not? So why hang the sight on the slide and off the sides? I just don’t understand. We’re not trying to knock the gonads off a housefly at 30 yards with your CCW, you’re just getting out of a situation that’s gotten really bad, really fast.
Is my thinking way off on this topic?
