Back up sights are common but there seems to be two common configurations. Red dots with cowitnessed irons or scopes with 40° offset sights. The offset sights are usually done because of rail space and because it's quicker and easier than removing glass. Here is my question though, would 45° offset sights also be practical paired with red dots? It seems irons are only a contingency if the batteries die. If the glass becomes obscure for any reason (rain, fog, glass being scratched/broken, mud, etc) then the cowitnessed irons may also be obscured.
However i I never see offset sights on guns with red dots. Is there something I am missing or is everyone just banking on their luck being better than that?
