So not to stir the pot but depending on which set of statistics you look at, we have accumulated a wealth of empirical evidence via body cams and video etc that indicates that 80 some odd percent of the defensive shooting in this Country occur at aprox seven yards. The great majority of concealed carry holders are incapable of precise fire (unsighted) at that range and must rely upon either sights or an aiming device to execute a precise defensive shot at that range? Thus the need in fact for either sighted fire or a red dot.
