Nothing wrong with that, brother. If you ever get the urge to test it out, I can mail you my slide and dot to try out. I think it's actually a great combination (43x).
I think you may be biased because you practice, lol. If you carry with a dot, you probably owe it to yourself to see what distances you can do what with at what speed.
I did this video last year with a gun I don't normally shoot (so the index isn't perfect). It's ~1 second draws to a 7 yard target with a follow up rapid shot (~0.22 splits) with and without the dot on (no BUIS visible).
I could maybe do minute of pie plate at 10 yards with my competition gun with dot off, but not sure at what speed I'd be able to hold that group.
A couple years ago, I did the 50 round FBI qual strings out to 7 yards with dot on and dot off (no BUIS).
I'm a much better shooter than I was back then, but in general I usually think 7 yards and in for point shooting at speed for myself personally.
@Nephrology testing software over hardware can give you a sense of where you're at and then what you'll really need for your uses. In that context, I still like BUIS but I'm not so hung up on absolute optic durability in a non-duty, non-LEO civilian CCW capacity.
Do you have a specific reliability parameter / benchmark in mind?
I saw Aaron Cowan’s review and was impressed with the 507k passing his full duty protocol.
And barring the mounting screws failing, you’d still have the integrated irons in place even if the electronics did fail. So in the unlikely event of a failure... you’d be no worse off than you are currently with only irons.
That’s how I see it anyway.
I’ve also had the type I RMR flicker before the days of sealing plates.
I’ve also had rear Glock irons bumped out of alignment...
If nothing else a red dot plus irons gives you another redundancy check for zero.
Match video from today.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
My wife's from same match.

Well, I think I have a total of 7 slides out for milling at the moment...
