For competition or just at the range, this type of sight is fine. However, for self-defense you can't rely on having time to turn it on. The last thing you need is to try to fumble with a switch.

So, yes, a Trijicon RMR is the way to go. The battery version lasts for years when constantly on. The dual illumination version never needs batteries. They are as durable and as tough an optic as I've ever seen. I've beat the daylights out of mine and it holds zero and functions perfectly. Expensive? Yes, but worth every penny.

And, yes, those of us with old eyes can benefit greatly from the red dot.
