Hey guys,
So I took out two new pistols with fiber optic front sights- one brand new, and one new to me. The new one is a Wilson EDC X9. The used one is a S&W 686. I could not, for the life of me, shoot accurately with them. Now while I'm not an expert, I am usually a decent shot. What was interesting, was that I was shooting low with both. Thinking it was me just shooting like crap that day, I took out my old USP 9, and I was dead on- shooting lights out! The strange thing (at least with the EDC X9, was that the faster I shot, the better the groups. When doing double taps or Mozambique drills my groups tightened up.
Now, it might be that I just need to get used to them, but it really seems that my eyes couldn't handle the fiber optic sights.
Anyone else have issues with these types of sights?
Thanks!
