I'd agree with that, but most everyone shoots better with an optic. Which is why the armed forces are using them.

And the dot can teach you things.....like to hold a focal plane without as many variables...especially if you vision isn't what it used to be.

I'm pretty good with irons...but a decent shooter with an optic and a comp make me work, very , very hard.

A guy on Glocktalk (Glock281) was selling knockoffs of Aimpoint, EOTech and ACOG sights a year or so ago . I don't know if he still does or not.
If you want his Email, PM me. i have it somewhere.

At $60 ea, I bought 2 aimpoint clones(same price for the EOTech clones). They don't have the extended battery life of a real Aimpoint nor do they have as many brightness settings. They have 2 red and 2 green dot settings.

They come with a mount. I use it but don't know how it will fare in the long run.

I will eventually get a real aimpoint.

I get what i pay for as does everyone.
