Most useless gun accessories

[Ronin]

You only take one gun to the range?

I don't understand....

I'm a busy man. Some months I'm lucky if I get an hour at the range, so sometimes I only take what I have time to shoot. All of my guns that have optics also have iron sights. That way I can keep going if the battery dies or the optic fails completely.

I am a huge fan of the Vortex Spirfire series of sights for that reason

It's a prism sight with the reticle etched onto the glass that is illuminated when the batteries are good

But if the batteries fail it's still a functional black dot

They are also perfect for people with astigmatisms because where a reflex red dot looks like a star exploding to me, the prism red dots are crystal clear

Sure the entire optic could get broken but if that happened on range day I'd be too pissed to want to keep shooting anyway

And what happens if you're at the range and your red dot takes a crap? Do you let that ruin your day at the range, or do you switch to irons and keep blasting away? Belt and suspenders, my friend.

Keep an extra battery, a quality red dot never dies, even a Sig Romeo 5 red dot will likely never die.

But.... if it ever does ... it will be at the least opportune moment imaginable.
