i am now starting a project i have been planning and gearing up for for some time... making my 327pd into a switch barrel gun to give me various options of barrel lengths so i can use my favorite gun for more purposes.
the purpose of this inquiry is to decided what sight options to place on the various barrel lengths. offhand i'm thinking open sights <4" then a reflex sight and the longest (~7-8") railed for a scope. ---- but i have little experience with red dot sights so:
1. at what sight radius are open sights comparable to a reflex sight in accuracy? (shorter barrel/sight radius = worse accuracy for open sights but a reflex sight remains constant... )
2. what is your best distance for using a reflex sight? (ability to bring on target up close, MOA dot size limiting your distance i'd imagine...)
i hope those questions made sense. looking foreword to learning from others' experience.
