You'd have better results with regular sights due to more lateral feedback from the rear notch.mavracer said:Speed when a more precise shot is needed. If your using the slide to index and need to make a longer shot you need to find the sights. If your using the big dot to index you mearly need to set it in the rear to make a more precise shot.
That is my objection. Not enough advantage up close (within 15 yards) and giving up too much as the range increases. I understand the principle of XS sights, I just don't think they transferred well from long guns.
That is part of index sighting I was referring to in using the top of the slide.NG VI said:Anyone ever try using just a front sight, no rear on the pistol, for a point of reference for basically point shooting?
The definition of Point Shooting has changed a lot over the years. It originally referred to pointing the gun without look at it for a reference/index point...hip shooting or cowboy fastdraw would be good examples. Somehow this has come to include bringing the gun up into your line of sight. The obvious question would be, if you are bringing it up that far anyway, why not look at the sights as it takes no more time?
That might be a bit harsh. I'd think they'd really need some instructionBovice said:What it shows is an acute need for practice.
