Back Up Iron Placement On An RDS Pistol
This video from Modern Samurai Project discusses the placement of backup iron sights on a red dot sight (RDS) equipped pistol. Instructor Scotch Alinsky explains that while some prefer sights in front of the RDS, he places his behind it. This is particularly beneficial for shooters whose eyesight is deteriorating, as they may not actively see the irons when using the RDS. He emphasizes that when shooting with an RDS, the focus should be on the dot on the target, not the iron sights, to avoid creating a multi-focal plane issue and slowing down target acquisition.
