Also, the biggest difference is battery life. The Trijicon, Aimpoint and PA all have a 50K battery life. If the gun will be used for self-defense, you don't want to have to turn the optic on, it needs to be on already. With a 50K battery life, it can just be left on all the time. You can't do that with the $20 red dot.

I figured that point would come up. My AR's are NOT for self-defense. I have a Mossberg Maverick 88 12 ga. on one side of my bed, and a Taurus .357 on the other side, for self-defense.
My AR's are for fun. Oh, and they are safe queens at that. I'm sure that will ruffle a few feathers.
My days of playing ARMY ended in 1992. My days of shooting at the enemy with my M16A2 ended in March of 91. Now I shoot at paper targets for fun.
