When I played with a slingshot all the time as a kid, there wasn't anything I couldn't hit on the first try. A gun has so many reference points outside of iron sights let alone a red dot, I could remove the optic and iron sights and still hit my shots. Really comes down to consistent practice and red dots make it so much easier.

This. You don't always need a sight. When I picked up my G19, it didn't have any sights. No optics or irons. A friend was practicing for his CCW renewal and was shooting a paper plate at ten yards. Was all over the place and was barely hitting it. Something of wrong with his sights and he decided to end it early to get his adjusted. I without sights decided to try mine on the same target, same distance. Just looking down the top of the slide I put all rounds in about a 6" group.

But for more accurate shots and to have more confidence in shot placement, sights sure help
