Red dot sights are still growing on me. I like them on guns that I keep bedside, take in zippered cases on road-trips, plinking, and hunting. For carry guns, such as compact and subcompacts, I just haven’t worked one into the rotation as I feel more comfortable with good iron sights that I don’t have to worry about. Not trying to contradict myself but for true carry guns, I just like to keep it very simple. That could change the more I use them but I have preferred the clean lines of a carry gun, especially IWB without a dot/rmr setup.
