I think in some cases BUIS are an unnecessary distraction. You end up dividing your time at the range between BUIS and red dot for zeroing and practice. Also if you are cost sensitive BUIS may not be a priority. If it's a good brand like Aimpoint or Trijicon I would have BUIS if you can but I wouldn't let it bother you if you don't. If it's a brand with questionable reliability then go with fixed BUIS.

Next time you shoot take all your sights off and spend some time finding the natural sight line of your gun. I bet you'll be surprised how well you do, particularly closer in. We get kind of wrapped up in sights and optics for a good reason but losing all your sighting options is possible and shouldn't mean the end of the gunfight. It also helps to consider that you could be injured and can't see your sights clearly even if they're still functional.

They're tough, that's for sure.
Just don't get caught in the rain or you're fucked and will have to ditch it and use buis or point shoot. |

The RMR is waterproof to 66 ft. I've had my two out in the rain worked just fine.

Do you have tritium BUIS? Because you mentioned using it for HD...what happens at night when you cannot see anything if you had to use BUIS? Or do you have a light on Scorpion as well?
BUIS adds weight and cost. I know I cannot afford BUIS on every one of my firearms in addition to optics. It's about picking and choosing. |

As soon as water gets caught in the image projector? the reticle gets completely scattered or just disappears (disappearing is more from dirt). These are RMR05's fwiw. |
