I have two Vipers, one on this M&P 9L and one on a Glock 19. I saw a Shield with a reflex red dot for concealed carry but not something I would consider doing.
You can argue the cons all you wish, and even be right about a lot of them, but I still bet I'm right in the end.
Ten years from now it will be odd to see a pistol that doesn't have an RDS.
The only place I can see an RDS hindering concealment or draw is pocket or ankle carry.

Over the long haul, Technology does not slow down or take steps backwards and I don't see RDSes on pistols being an exception to this... The benefits for aging eyes, low light shooting, and improved accuracy are just too much to ignore.
These sights will continue to get tougher, cheaper, and easier to mount as manufacturers get on board.
You've already seen it with rifles and pistols are simply the next step.
Like quite a few of you here I'm sure, I can still remember doubting that everyone would eventually have, and "need", a home computer, and then that everyone would "need" a cell phone...
Technology matches on, whether we need it or not.
Apparently I am coming across in a way I did not intend... I am a new guy around here and it is not my intention to stir up the calm waters. My apologies.Its not an argument, it is a discussion of facts and possibilities on a forum. The fact YOU perceive it as an argument, and ur statement "I still bet I'm right in the end" just indicates ur unwillingness to an open, educated discussion. Your mind is made up, and that's that!

That is my hope... Thank you.Hey no problem GearFondler. Maybe I perceived your comment incorrectly. Lets have a spirited discussion, share some ideas and thoughts, keep an open mind, have a good time, and learn together
