Over the years, especially since I prefer handguns for a self-defense role rather than for target or match shooting, I have eschewed adjustable sights on all of my handguns.
However, now that I am looking at acquiring a Ruger GP-100 or a CZ-85 Combat for a fun and games first, SD second role, I am faced with a choice. Get the fixed or adjustables?
The adjustables don't seem to be so wimpy that I will knock them out of accuracy with the slightest effort during IDPA and I like the theoretical ability to change my POA/POI to suit what I am shooting and shooting at that moment.
Then again, there is something to be said for the fixed sights on my 1911s being zeroed in at a fixed distance with a known load and always knowing where my POA is and where my POI will be when shooting a target closer or farther than the zero.
What to do?
