I'm curious why so many people overlook the Springfield GI 45 pistol because it has the lo-profile military sights and instead choose its more sophisticated counterpart with the larger, hi-profile sights. I'd think in a carry pistol it shouldn't really matter, and might even be better to have lo-profile sights that won't snag if you have to draw your weapon.
When I went through the CCW class a couple weeks ago we went through the simulator and our instructor said not to use the sights. I noticed as I went through a couple of the scenarios there really was no time to set your sights; you just had to point and shoot. If you know your weapon well enough, it shouldn't be difficult to point at the center of mass and hit the target. Chances are, if you have to draw your weapon, the bad guy already has presented his weapon...you only have time to draw, point and shoot. Am I wrong?
