The eye relief with an LPVO on a pistol is only a problem if you didn't set it up right. You can get an extra 3/4 inch of LOP by going with an A5 receiver extension and you can choose an LPVO or other magnified optic with a shorter eye relief. I run two 11.5 pistols. One has a 1-8x NX8 and the other an ACOG with red dot. Not all LPVOs have 4"+ of eye relief and most prism style optics run in the 1.5 to 3" range.
As far as unforeseeable scenarios go, I was talking about problems that I regularly ran into running a red dot. It's been said that not all civilians take shots to 300 yards or beyond. I can tell you that there are many of us that do and do so regularly.
When I said that about 300 yard shots I was talking about self defense or life safety shots. Not hanging at the range shooting steel. Two very different scenarios. I am sure a ton of guys lay at the local range and use their red dots for shooting at 300 yard and beyond steel.
