I have an optic on my Shield Plus that I don't shoot as well as the sights on my S&W 632. At the range, that is.

I carry it anyway because I need reading glasses to see any detail within 2 yards or so. The red dot works whether I have glasses on or not. Even high-vis iron sights are really hard to pick up against a bright background.

Has anyone else with older eyeballs found that a red dot helps? If not, if suggest giving it a try.
