Red Dots on Pistols: How much better are they than irons?

People argue about red dots versus irons on pistols - so I took a buddy and the Springfield Armory 1911 Operator AOS to the range to determine how much does the dot help a casual shooter and a seasoned shooter.

Thanks to Springfield Armory for the pistol for filming the video, Cyelee Optics for the red dot used in this video.
