I have zero issues shooting w. both eyes open when using pistol with regular sights. And, I can do this fast. However, my shotgun bead makes this extremely difficult (next to impossible, when switching shoulders and firing from the left side, and then switching again back and forth). Perhaps my bead is crappy. Tiny bolts on the receiver that protect the threads of the rail bolt holes are getting in the way, for one thing. Also, I have to lower my head way down to see the sights, which is uncomfortable, reduces my field of view and makes shooting w. prescription glasses difficult. Do you guys experience any of these issues? Some suggest bringing the stock of the gun up (instead of lowering the head down) -- I don't like that idea because then only part of gun stock is in contact with the body, and the main contact occurs with the color bone. This, imo, isn't an optimal recoil-mitigation approach... Having taken professional classes and spending lots of time dry and live firing, it's still not very easy to aim fast and aim accurately even within the 30 feet home defense distance (it is doable to take a head shot w. a slug from that distance, but I want it to be easier/faster).
I also think that Aimpoint Micro follows the KISS principle: You can leave it on for 5 years without changing batteries (change 'em when new president is elected, and you'll be fine); it is very compact, light, and sturdy -- so shouldn't break or get in the way much, if at all. It ain't as KISSish as the bead, but it's pretty darn close, imo
