Anyone have problems with fiber optic sights?

All depends on the light, and what you're trying to shoot. I like Dawson fiber optics, but they have to be watched, as they will be shed occasionally. Contrasting sights help my old eyes pick them up. Hate to admit it, but the OEM Glock sights work about as well as anything.
Oddly, I've gone back to the Xray sights on 365s, tho' I've got a white dot installed on a 365 slide; want to try that.
Now for pure target shooting, black on black, even in silhouette, is likely the way to go.
Our late range officer, whose eyes were about as bad up close as far away, had goobered paint of all sorts on the front and rear sights of various guns. For all that, he could still hit stuff.

You are shooting low because you are expecting the bullet to hit where the top of the front sight is. The way I’ve always shot for accuracy. I want the hole, on the target, to appear exactly where the top of the front sight is.

With fiber optic, the hole will (if everything is set up right) be where the green dot is.

Which will be low.

Which drives me insane. I don’t WANT to cover up what I’m shooting at.

I’m slowly kinda warming up to the fiber optic sights. They are fine for “combat” shooting. They suck for “watch me hit that Coke can at 50 yards”.

Having watched lots of people shoot at the range, very. VERY few will notice the rounds are hitting slightly low. If they can get the majority of the rounds in the B ring at 7 yards, they think of themselves as gunslingers.
