I reiterate that the iron sight are a step down from an appropriate set of optics. Now those optics may need to be a reddot or a scope/reddot combo. No matter how magically your rifle fits you with iron sights, the best of the reddot optics are still faster.

The super-high speed handgunners will tell you they still get a sight picture no matter how fast they shoot. And if reddots are permitted in the sport they are used by all because of their superiority.

The guys busting doors in Irag and Afghan. are all using optics.

No matter how much we all love the express sights, we just must face the truth that the optics are faster.

I might even be interested in a little speed test of iron sights versus appropriate optics over a diverse set of shooting situations. Of course we shoot like men for pink slips.

Any thoughts on shooting events to sort this question out once and for all?

No words of mine can hope to convey to you the ringing joy and hope embodied in that spontaneous yell: �The Americans are coming; at last they are coming!�

I hadn�t the heart to disillusion them.
