You know the beauty of an RDS? Well, one of them. It allows you to be target focused. Not just on a handgun.

Saved my dog this morning. Appreciated having an RDS
So you don’t bring the dot to the target, just like bringing the front site to the target?
I get that reflex sites are more robust and dependable than earlier ones.
But you know what changes? You do.
Unless you are in regular life endangering scenarios, and train in those environments like military in actual combat, swat, etc.
Fine motor skills erode for the best, for the rest of us they go straight to hell.
You will do, say things that later you cannot even remember, and no one understands.
In real world we have to be ready to aim from cover, move to cover, run, hide, and scream like a girl. All the time while our adrenaline is making our muscles shake and twitch in controllably.
We also have to take into account present our weapon in unconventional manners hitting door frames, steering wheels, building corners and any other thing that may get in the way of our bodies and weapons. Hell even if you have drawn your weapon a thousand times there is a good possibility you will at best fumble the draw, or at worst drop it.
And do not say it will not happen to you, if so you are only fooling your self.
Adding anything to my personal carry weapon that could be damaged or compromised in such situations, is a no go IMO.
