It's what I want for my sights, especially on a self-defense weapon intended to be used in a high-stress situation where I'm likely to revert to the way I've been trained to do things for the last 25 years. Especially since <em>all</em> my other guns are set up the 'traditional' way.<br /><br />I've just got to find some replacement sights that do what I want <em>and</em> fit that particular gun <em>and</em> that I can afford.Jake (formerly Riposte3)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02976718318892210404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817503750343460336.post-43562620755762303972010-07-18T23:08:45.041-05:002010-07-18T23:08:45.041-05:00Well, I don;t know if I'm a valid datum.

Mine's a bit extreme, though - at about 21 feet it will completely miss the target if I use a normal sight alignment. I have to line the top of the rear sight up with the top-front of the slide to get on target. If everyone else who's picked it up hadn't had the same problem, I'd say it was me and not the gun.Jake (formerly Riposte3)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02976718318892210404noreply@blogger.com
