Can’t make your mind up about red dots, Eotech’s or ACOGS? What do you want?
I didn’t consider myself and expert on close quarters optics until I heard from enough customers that seemed to know far less than what we I did. People seem to think about price ranges more than how versatile and optic is. I have always felt that the best analogy about firearms and accessories is that they are more like golf clubs than tools. You don’t use an iron to drive a ball down range and yo don’t use a wedge to putt a ball 3 yards. Trying to do it all with one optic is really asking for too much, and even the military has realized that make a man a designated marksmen in necessary because even though there are guys that can hit targets at 100yds with iron sights, you gotta be realistic on what is practical.
I personally love my co witnessed Eotech sight with my Gen 2 magnifier, but if I had to go with something else, and for probable the same amount of money there is another option. Probable the most versatile Trijicon ACOG is the Trijicon TA01NSN because the iron sights are not really a backup sight for you scope, they are more of a close quarters engagement. People that are less trained seem to think that a whole lot of magnification is going to make hitting bad guys easier and unless this is in long range engagements, it is simply not true.
