I've said this several times before, so I guess at this point I'm committed.
I was a HUGE red dot fan. Loved my T2 and didn't think I'd ever change.
Then there were a few situations where I needed some magnification and thought about putting a magnifier behind the T2, but.... Blah.
Then I want to an active shooter training and spent a few days needing to do up close and personal work (classrooms) and some time needing magnification (hallways & exteriors). During the training I used a buddy's rifle with a 1-6 and started to like it more and more with use.
I switched to a 1-8 shortly after and haven't looked back. I am now VERY close to being every bit as fast as I was with the T2 on speed related scenerios on 1 power, and have the advantage of magnification if I need it.
There is no perfect solution to every situation, but I really believe a LPVO is as close as you can get to covering all your bases.
Give one a try and give yourself a chance to get good behind it. I think you will love one!
