Narrative:
Approaching in gusty wind conditions 320/19g21 RNAV/GPS [approach] in use. I was the pilot flying. Starting about 1;200 feet AGL; I selected auto pilot off. I transitioned to VASI guidance. I was receiving consistent call outs from first officer regarding airspeed fluctuations above and below target. At about 1;100 feet AGL; amber windshear annunciated and I decided to continue the approach. At about 300 [feet] AGL; red windshear annunciated and first officer called out 'go around'. I said no; I want to land! The landing was very smooth with absolutely no side loads or control issues. I wanted to land because I thought the airplane was handling well and that the warnings were related to horizontal wind shifts and not vertical shifts such as micro bursts. Also there were no airport warnings issued during the approach other than a few PIREPS of plus minus changes in airspeed. First officer was very supportive and professional during this event. After gate arrival and the door open I stepped out onto the jet bridge to greet the customers and many of them shook my hand and were grateful for arriving safely. I am willing to completely cooperate with recommendations moving forward. I felt absolutely confident that this landing would be done safely considering the conditions at the time. I regret not executing a go-around for amber windshear alerts or escape for red windshear alert and further overriding the first officer call to go around. I have fully committed to respect these procedures moving forward despite blue sky and visibility unlimited!this event occurred because the windshear detection system annunciated due to gusty low level winds and I decided to land rather than go around.very simple; go around any time amber windshear displays! Had I responded properly; this event would have been avoided.
