red dot or iron sights 4 home protection
Just a question i wanted to throw out there...would you rather have iron sights, or a red dot scope on your in home defense shotgun and why?
|
Irons. Batteries go dead at the most inconveniant times. I don't want to have to worry about that.
|
thats true...but then again what if its dark wouldnt a red dot b more conveinient?
|
Even with a red dot you wont be able to see in the dark. Just a red dot but no idea where or what you are aiming at. I mounted a light on my pistol after having one scare of the wife "seeing" someone in the house and me learning that I could not see a damb thing.

I like weapon mounted lights, especially on a long-gun. At HD distances, the pattern will be pretty much centered in the light cone. I believe that in a HD scenario, target ID is paramount. There are countless stories of homeowner X shooting family member Y by mistake. Mounted lights allow for a free hand for opening doors, using a phone etc. Also there’s no chance of leaving the light behind when you need it. It’s also much easier to engage a target with a mounted light. Some people don’t like mounted lights, one thing to remember, just because it’s there doesn’t mean you have to use it. This really is training issue and a low-light class will go a long way to make someone a believer in tactical lights either handheld or mounted. Chuck |
Home defense range probably renders the choice of sights a moot point. The first shot will light things up just fine.

burris fastfire red dot.........

A sight? It's a shotgun! (i.e. point and shoot)
Get a good stunningly bright flashlight on it and you are all set. |
yea but i like to shoot slugs too!
|
point and shoot...
it's a shotgun/buckshot, not a 100yd slug shot on a deer. |
