need help deciding

ok well my bday is almost here and i want to use most of my money on gear..I wont have a lot of money, and plus i still need to get a dts uniform. i need help deciding between these three things

mid cap mags

eotech red dot

plate carrier.

which one is more important to get than the other?

What do you have now?

I only have 1 high cap(which i really don't like because i give away my position by all the rattling i do when i move) iron sights(which i have gotten used to so i want to move up to a sight) and i have a combat belt(or whatever it's called) to hold my pistol holster

Gear and the midcaps. The EoTech is less important because you already have something that works(irons).

sticks

I'm just going to say midcaps. A plate carrier would be nice but the battle belt works as well and you can easily put some MOLLE backed pouches on it. And like sticks pointed out, iron sights work fine. Would probably be a better idea just to up a decent red dot which can do for like $30.

ah ok thanks guys. well lets say that i found a fully functioning eotech going for like 20 dollars. should i take that? i have like about 200-240 for gear. well 80 of it will be for getting my uniform for the team i'm capt. of

I'd be very hesitant on getting it, but for $20 you wouldn't be loosing much if it's a scam.

it could, though the guy does have 100 percent positive feedback. I'll get it when i can, and i'll post updates on how it is. i do want the eotech the only thing is i have a standard m4, and i don't know if the front sight will block the eotech. will it?

Can you link the sight? The front post sight will get in the way but not enough to really be a huge deal.

You can also remove your front sight if you wish; just tap out the two pins on the underside of the sight and it should come off.

I'd just learn to deal with the front iron. That way, if your optics go out, you can still aim. I've done that with the red dot on my G36C.

That works for some, too. also, it makes it easier to sight in with the front iron there.
however, another option (The one I use) is to get a cheap $10 rail that attatches to your carry handle and put the sight on that. I love it. and you can still use your irons.

oh i like the iron sights. i mean would the iron sights block the eotech is what i'm wondering, or would the iron sights line up with the eotech

Co-Witness. The EOTech should line up so that you can see the iron sights through it. If not, then one of the cool features of the EOTech is gone D:
