I realize at handgun combat distances it should be of little concern. Am I on the right path here?

Also, I admit this makes the shot faster and basically makes the irons irrelevant, and I also like Rich's idea of ditching the suppressor height sites and going back to regular ones to declutter the picture.
Parallax is a non issue I think. You are the first person I've ever seen asking about it in relation to pistol optics.

As for shooting with dots, I've come to realize that 95% of it is in the presentation. You hear about dry fire practice, but most of the time I don't even do that. I just pick up the pistol and try to pick up the dot instantaneously. No trigger pulls, nothing. Just straight up presentation.

In a way most of it is like point shooting.
