Found this video. Has me re-thinking my optics options. Really good explanation, demonstration, and practical comparison of red dots, prizm scopes, and lvpo.

Im going to really have to do some thinking on this, brought up a lot of questions fore both on optics choice and training. I definitely feel a red dot is a good step up from iron sights. But for practical defensive use off of a flat range, it really seems like magnification is a huge bonus, almost something you have to have
What are your thoughts? Are irons or just a red dot really enough?
Staff: Not sure if this would be best here or in tactics/training, or gear/accessories. My thinking was that this was mostly a optics choice for semi auto rifle type question, but it does cover gear, and training to some degree. Feel free to move it if you feel it is more appropriate in another section.
