Red Dots or Iron Sights?

[Alan]

Just a quick poll for everyone

As optics gain popularity among those who carry, I can’t help but wonder what your setup is. Are you using red dot on your EDC or do you still lean towards traditional iron sights?

It depends though but I prefer irons

I have red dots, lasers and scopes on several handguns. They are fun guns or hunting guns. For EDC I prefer irons sights and, truth told, a few only carry a grooved top strap and a rudimentary bump on the end of the barrel. Not a lot of precision with those.

For me simple is best. Less bulk so easier to conceal, no batteries to fail at the worst possible time and most importantly, less manipulation required to get from Condition White to Condition Red.
