It’s kinda comical that the gamer Bill Wilson, who now makes a living selling highly priced customized guns for CCW, is making any comment about spending anything for something gun related. Talk about hypocrisy on this issue. Dude, your 1911’s cost around $2500….crazy!I am far from the resident expert here but common sense tells me that even the highly trained will most likely focus on the threat in a life and death situation. Sighting systems designed to be used with a target focus are more intuitive and that is what a red dot offers. Bill Wilson berating someone for spending a few extra $$$$ for an item that could very well save a few tenths of a second demonstrates how out of touch he is. Unlike Bill most don't have an unlimited budget and time to train.. Having a target focus IS an advantage for most people, especially those with a limited training budget. Anyone that doesn't believe that is free to spend their extra $$$ on ammo.. Go with what works for you is the best advice I can give someone YMMV.
