Kind of a complex issue to describe but I will try.
I am curious about what the mental sight picture should look like when aiming one of my 38 snubnoses. If you lay the gun down on its side, you will notice that the top of the front sight is higher than the rear "sight" (which is embedded in the top of the frame).
I have always been told that the sight alignment picture should be that both front and rear sights should be equal (height wise) as you are aiming. Well, if this is the case with these snubbies, then you would actually be pointing the gun about 1 or 2 degrees DOWN because the top of the front sight is higher than the rear "sight" embedded in the frame.
Any ideas? So do snubbies require a different sight picture since the rear sight is embedded into the frame? If so, what should the sight picture look like?
So how many folks did I confuse here?
