Easy tiger. I was trying to understand what you were really asking through the block of circular text.
Are you talking superior in performance or enjoyment?
Because the two don't necessarily go together.
I like driving manual transmission cars and would race one in an all manual transmission racing division.
But a good PDK is better performance wise hands down.
I think red dots on pistols will be like red dots on rifles in 15 years.
You'll still have people who compete with lever action rifles in lever action rifle competitions though.
