I was thinking of running iron sights next CQB, I'll do it for the challenge
Problems with red dot and other optics is like any other sighting system, they are bound to fail. Battery, glass, electronics. Its good to know how to shoot with iron sights and be good with it, but yeah optics makes life "easier"
Unfortunately, my ammo budget is not like the government for the special forces super A-teams. If I only get so much ammo aka money a year, I pick one or two to master that will be some kind of optics.
Training with iron is not wise in "dollar for value " these days - you can't win the "race" with iron if the other dude is running an aimpoint or Eotech.
Yes, but if people like to shoot with iron sights for fun it is completely a personal preference. Who am I or anyone to say what someone should do for fun? As long as you have fun, it is all it matters.
