I think it's a useful set-up. I put an FF3 red dot on a rifle for close-in woods hunting. Target acquisition can be very fast and positive. A drawback is that the sight doesn't help identify twigs or branches in between the muzzle and the target, though.
I have a Fastfire 3 and Fastfire 4, latter as yet unused. I believe I'll like the enhanced reticle options, compared to the FF3 and perhaps for running shots. The FF3 single dot seemed quite sufficient for our typical hunting, though, especially since I actually don't usually take running shots.
All that said... I did replace the FF3 with a low power scope afterwards... because of that "twigs in between" issue. Don't much care for the additional weight or clutter, but then again that scope was just hanging around looking for a job to do, so...
