The dot optics require training, they're not nearly as intuitive as a solid iron front sight.
I've had them on guns, rifles, and handguns for over 20 years - and still they're not as fast or intuitive as iron sights. Also if the shooter has an eyeglass prescription for astigmatism, that dot ends up looking like a smidge.
I disagree. I found I was quicker with the Aimpoint than open sights. Other dot sights I have to hunt for but not the Aimpoint. Others tell me they find Helio sights quicker. In very thick scrub with moving pigs I never got behind the open sights just looked over the barrel. With the Aimpoint the dot was always in sight in these situations.
