I put an RMR on my 1911 for a range toy and yes, I can shoot it more accurately than with the factory irons. That said, an edc piece would be a defensive draw from concealment and a red dot sticking up just gives me one more thing to snag on the way out. When I do carry it is a pocket carry J-frame .38 Special or CZ 9mm and I've been happier with a set of Dawson fiber optic after market sights on the CZ as my first choice.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
