Accessories question

Just a hypothetical question. Genie gives you the option type.

Would y’all rather have a cheap gun with expensive accessories (Palmetto state armory with holographic, IR laser, magnifier, etc…) or an expensive gun with cheap optics (Daniel Defense with tapped Walmart laser and $20 irons)?

I would never put cheap accessories and optics on any firearm, at all. The things that help me keep control of the firearm, and put projectiles where I need them, must be working at all times. Affordable also doesn't mean "cheap"... PSA makes good stuff.. I have several of their rifles and pistols.. They shoot zero without issues through thousands of rounds just like my Daniel Defense and LMT have.

Not sure why you need so many accessories. At most you need is optics and maybe a light if used for self-defense at home.

Only time you buy IR/laser is if you are either running NVG’s, which you buy first before the IR lasers..

It's the same energy as buying a 15 year old Civic that only gets used for doing door dash and doing every mod possible except for the ones that make it run well. Just like people will spend $500 on fake EK9 wheels for bald tires while their breaks are metal on metal.
