Red dot sight is absolutely required if you are interested in becoming proficient with your firearm. Irons are for many reasons much more difficult to extract useful training data then a dedicated red dot sight. This is not merely "competition shooting", if you care about becoming skilled in defensive applications and not just keeping the thing around as a talisman, get the slide milled for a good holosun optic and practice extensively with it.
flashlight good if you plan to use it during the nighttime, which currently is more than 50% of the time for much of the northern hemisphere. If you are worried about pointing a firearm at something while also illuminating it, you should be having a serious conversation with yourself if you are fully prepared to utilize a firearm in a defensive manner.
