Well.

Here is my nickels worth.

Using Iron Sights as a back up is not an option, its a must.

What if batteries fail? etc etc etc.

I always align both iron sights and use my AIMPOINT at the same time.

TWO IS ONE and ONE IS NONE.

Besides, using both ath the same time ensures a fundamental rule of shooting happens....

PROPER CHEEK WELD.

The AIMPOINT is a cheaters way of becoming a good shooter. USe both, make it muscle memory. Do it smoothly, and speed will come.

Cheek weld is crucial, besides its VERY easy to throw rounds from poor trigger control when you do not have a proper stance and cheek weld, and when you have those, you will have your Iron sights already lined up.

The key is to get something like the LMT rear sight , that allows you to shoot both AIMPOINT and iron at the same time.
you would be surprised how many guys leave their backups down.

How many seconds would it cost you to flip it up and re aquire the target????


Again, just my opinion....
