In your direct experience what is the quickest way to acquire a good sight picture with both eyes focused on the target?
I've used XS Big Dot sights for a while and can see them well enough to get fairly accurate hits inside of about 15 feet where point shooting is almost as good .
With a red dot, assuming I don't lose track of the dot, I can be way faster and more accurate at almost any reasonable distance. But even with much practice it's still easy to lose the dot and awkward to recover it.
With a green laser I seem to be fastest of all. No question where that dot is and if my trigger discipline is good, the shot will always be within 2" vertically of the dot out to about 90' where I can't realistically see it well anyway. The major drawback I see is that it washes out in sunlight beyond about 20'. But then, most defensive incidents are within that range and mostly not in bright outdoor sunlight.
So -- without commenting on batteries dying and getting you killed -- or "iron sights were good enough to win a world war and they're good enough for me --
What have you personally found to be the quickest way to get an accurate hit on a target without shifting focus away from the target?
