After a bunch of research and trying a few guns out I bought a Sig P226 Elite Dark today. It was a bit above my price range but will be one of the few guns I'll probably buy so I paid a bit more than originally planned. Now begins the three day waiting period.
The question I've got is about the combat night sights. They really seem large on top of the gun compared to the other sigs I've been looking at. After looking around on the net a bit I found a post about concerns about these larger sights moving around more than usual and the need to reset them quite a bit. That sounds like a real pain to me. I'm not going to be shooting all the time and I'm not one who would immediately notice the sights are off over time. I'm not that great an aim so it's not like I'll be hitting bull's eyes all the time and then suddenly get worse and know it's the sights.
Is this a real concern and will these sights require constant monitoring? I won't be wearing this as a carry and it will most times sit in a small holster in a safe. Will the holster be more apt to snag on these sights? I'm leaning towards the sig poly holster or some similar type. I guess this shouldn't be a problem since the rear sights sit outside the holster.
I just want to get this figured out before I carry the thing out of the store. I'll be stopping by there to discuss it and hold the thing again. Just wanted to get this forum's opinion.
Thanks
