A SME made the case that LPVOs aren’t just for duty guns and that a home defense carbine should be running LPVOs.
LPVOs provide magnification which helps with precision shots and target identification, while still being very nearly as fast and forgiving as a dot.
I have a hard time coming up with a situation in which I would be justified in a self defense engagement that would be at distance which benefits from the aid of magnification for PID and/or precision shot placement.
I’m hesitant to give up the speed/familiarity of the dot and pay for a premium LPVO.
Seems like I’m missing something? Should I be jumping on the LPVO train?
Details:
Current HD gun is a 16” BCM in 5.56 with RMR and white light.
The furthest distance I can see from my house on my property is 300 meters.
I live in a rural area and law enforcement response times are proabably around 1/2 to 1 hour ( maybe >2 hours in the evening)
