I agree. Anything home defense oriented only has a dot. The magnifier is just dead weight and in the way.

Overall though I quit using them, even though I did not use them very much and only on a couple of my rifles and still have them mounted on a couple of rifles. They can come in handy for that occasional longer shot or maybe if your eyesight is not as sharp as it used to be, but as a standard thing to have on a rifle I guess to each their own. I don’t use a magnifier on my home defense rifles, on a home defense rifle they would not get used in a home defense scenario anyway and be more in the way than anything. With LPVO’s in the 1-4 range, unless you are going for a home defense rifle they work out pretty well and I wish they made them a little shorter but I live with it and its not really objectionable and more of a “I wish’ thing than an irritation. For other rifles I have 1-6 LPVO’s. But for most of my rifles, especially the home defense rifles, I have just the dot sight…and on some others I just have iron sights. But I do switch up occasionally as I have multiple AR rifles in different configurations. My bug out rifles (M-4 style) have 1-4 LPVO’s on them with quick detach mounts, and in the bug out bag is a red dot with a quick detach mount – they both switch out with no shift in zero, and if they quite working I have fordable iron sights on the rifles (samson HK style, they are the closest on the market in dimensions of the front sight ring to the HK method of quick close range engagement of circle-in-circle sight picture with the standard sight radius for the M-4 style AR of 14.5 inches)
