For short ranges a decent reflex sight (miniature heads up display) is better than any iron sights. I was definitely in the iron sight camp till my eyes got too old. A reflex sight lets your eye be focused out in the distance and superimposes a red dot or whatever reticule you want in your view of the target. There is no parallax. You just see a red dot or cross hairs or whatever floating in space. You just put the dot or reticule on the target. Much faster and easier than using a regular telescopic sight and the optics don't have to be adjusted for varying ranges to give an "IN FOCUS" view of the target or the reticule (or dot.)
There are adjustments for windage and elevation just like with iron sights. Like with everything else there is just about no upper limit of price on these things but since the optics are so simple with no magnification, the simpler cheaper ones (quite inexpensive) work pretty darned good.
