For ARs and modern sporting rifle variants, do you guys install backup iron sights when you have an optic with an etched reticle? For those that have used an AR-15 or M4/16 as a duty gun, were there ever circumstances in which BUIS were useful or necessary? Second question is more curiosity to get a sense of what I might not be considering due to my limited perspective.
I'm asking because I have an M10X-Z in front of me as I peck this out that has a Primary Arms fixed power prism optic on it with an etched reticle. I was about to put on some backup sights on it as a matter of habit (usually put Magpuls on my ARs), reflected for a moment, and wondered why. Maybe offset irons if used as a HD tool in which I didn't want magnification.
