Thought this might be interesting. I had abdominal surgery which took me about 5 months to recover fully. My incision got infected and would not close. Any way I realized that I could no longer use my 12 gauge as a reliable weapon because I was kind of slow due to the surgery and the recoil I felt would be more than I would like to handle.
So I put my 1911 with night sights on the stand by me and did some dry runs to see how it would work. I still felt uncomfortable and had to manuever with pain to get a decent shot. My final choice was my 642 with laser grips backed by my 1911 if still needed it. I found that I could shoot at the perp without moving around too much by letting the laser do the aiming for me. Thought this might be helpful incase anybody got sick or injured...God forbid.

Near vision in low light makes lining up three fuzzy dots look more like one long fuzzy line. Long vision, in daytime is great with contacts. In daylight with contacts, it isn't quite as big deal but still the sights are not sharp and clear. Focusing just on the front sight really helps. All my night guns are either double action, or striker fired with the usual built in safeties and nothing to flip or push to get the gun going. The laser button in the grip and comes on with a squeeze.
