Good iron sites are invaluable, pin point accuracy (only around 4") is what we are accustomed to, and a pistol is a close range firearm for most. I like many need reading glasses at this point in my life. Took me a long time to get a red dot, and I really like it. I shoot faster and more accurately with a red dot on a pistol. Would a cheap one suffice? Yes, but I do not want it to fail at the worst possible time, and if one does I am stuck with simply a glass window and my accuracy is blown to heck, the sights are harder to see without the dot. Few will remember the "EPC" from way back, but it was groundbreaking since it was the first pistol red dot site. My thoughts were a "nice range toy" fastened to the slide via adhesive. My feelings have changed as of about 4 months ago about $ and sights. My feelings now are get a sight that compliments your firearm, works best with your eyes and is well made. If you rely on it, expect to pay $. Think the price will go down as competition increases.</p></blockquote><p></p>
