Handgun Sights Thread

I have fiber front and black rear on like 2-5... They are great for playing around, kind of hard to pick up inside.

Do it, I've been doing more and more on demand time based drills and this is my next priority for every gun I shoot.

I'm about ready to block out my rears as a temporary stop-gap.

3 bar sights are best sights.

>>33222634
now that's better. move along

>>33222712
I like those. Do they make them for most common models?

>>33222754
Those are the sights that come on Hi power MK3s, I prefer them to any other dot sights ive used, i would like to get the front sight replaced with a red fiber optic though.

fiber optic tritium

>>33222482
I went with a tritium front, then a blacked out rear, and personally I find it much easier to pick up. The tritium helps indoors, so I would recommend that over a fiber optic.

>>33222712
No my man, not to be a dick but if you are shooting for speed & hits on demand that is not a desired configuration, and if you're shooting for bullseye, that is also not a desired configuration.

I prefer xs big dots on a defensive pistol

>>33223142
I like em, Ive never had a problem picking them out at speed (in any kind of lit conditions) or any accuracy issues. Since they came stock with the gun, i feel like im coming out ahead since most stock sights are shit, and i already said id like a fiber optic front sight, but thats mostly just me gearfagging.

>>33223149
good plan, that way you can miss and avoid a lawsuit.

>>33223238
I'm glad that you are happy with them, can you relay to me the kind of on demand shooting level you are at?

I'm not trying to bully senpai, it's just I often come across this as a sign of someone who does not yet poses the raw ability to track the dot and shoot at full speed accurately.

So it's cool that you like them - wouldn't tell you how to run your gun, but if we are talking about efficient and practical site design and use, I'm going to need some kind of qualifier from you to give any weight to your opinion. Especially because you are defacto now recommending this sight style design - despite your benign intentions.

>>33222482
Trijicon Bright and Tough or GTFO

I actually really like the Wilson Combat/Vickers Glock sights too, but those won't fit on my MOS.

*EYRRRRRRPP* *record scratch, freeze frame, rewind*

so, you're probably wondering how i found myself in this tough situation, arncha :P? well, it all started one day when anon asked me to qualify my level of proficiency, in order for him to take my recommendation of pistol sights more seriously

>>33223308
I shoot casually and have practiced draws and rapid shooting from various carry positions and body positions that I would encounter in a self defense scenario.

If your calling me out for not being super operator and not spending the cost of another similar handgun on trijicon fiber optic glows sights when i like my 3 bar sights just fine, I am guilty of being content with my skill and my setup. More expensive dosent mean better, and fancy sights wont make you shoot any better. If OP or you dont like that, no skin off my nose, its not my wallet.

>>33223417
Love it.

I'm not calling you out, not trying to bully.

Fiber optic front/ blacked out rear is a good combo.
>b-b-but u can't see at night!
>u can't see the sights!!!

To any of the retards suggesting 3 dot tritiums or god forbid TFO's, flashlights exist. Tritium does not illuminate a target.

Also, consider

How about just don't contaminate legit information/experience threads and save that nonsense for the masturbatory LARPing theory-craft circle jerks.

It might be fun but when you troll legit gun threads you actually infect legit noobs and interested parties with dangerous info.

I like the Steyr M9 trapezoidal sights but impossible to find them elsewhere for other guns.

>>33227558
Meh it's fun bringing the the info here.

p-f is such a wealth of information but it's THR tier banter and a bit of a turn off from us autists

I usually send my pistols to Dawson Precision. They have some slim front sights that I really, really like.

Anybody here ever handled a Caracal? Sights look neat.

Anyone else remove the sights on their carry gun? I noticed I was way more accurate point shooting within 10 yards plus it cuts down on reaction time.

Moving the rear sight forward allows for much faster aiming, but it's less precise. A fantastic trade off for a combat pistol.

>>33228967
Ill ask, are these sights ineffective and not precise? or merely ugly? i find them aesthetically pleasing

Are there any good options for 1911's other than novaks or bomar?

Everyone knows no sights is the highest speed and lowest drag. Hell drag is practically nonexistent.

After thinking about it all day I busted out the wal-mart Rust-Oleum spray paint and just did it, not even sure if it's worth investing in new sights now... The FNS has a beefy, huge front sight post and dot already so this seems just as effective.

My phone pic is exaggerating the perspective a fuck ton, that front dot is xbox huge

I like the U-notch rear style in the second pic a lot more, just as fast for chasing the dot but able to do precision work with less play.

Also notice how similar the stock FNS sights are to your Larry sights? I know I never shut the fuck up about it but seriously, they are fantastic stock sights.

>>33229115
No it doesn't.

When you build s new pistol and need to adjust your front sight .0125 inches but they only sell .0100 or .0150 inches.

This is never going to not bother me.

>>33233850
Larry's WCs are pretty good bang for buck. I got them when they first came out but you can get a full set for like $70 now.

I just blocked out my FNX rear sight with sharpie after reading this. I think I like it but will need to shoot soon to confirm. Might pick up a tritium front sight too :O

>>33236746
I'm the FNS autist and I've been doing par time draws on the TV tonight and so far it seems like it cuts down the visual clutter significantly.

Will run like 3 days of cold FASTs and see if there's the kind of gains I expect.

>>33236779
what are cold fasts?
please explain your training techniques

>>33237024
Here is the test. It's run "cold" as in no warm up or other shooting done before hand, it's meant to put you in the condition you would be in if you had to draw and shoot another human on demand in real life with no preparation. (impossible to truly mimic but god damn if this doesn't exaggerate and reveal the issues in such a scenario)

https://pistol-training.com/fastest

It's very, very hard to do with honest accountability, sometimes I wish the people who scoff at it would try to run it with an audience and demonstrate how they really perform.

Trijicon HD XR. I like them so far. You do get to see more of the target in front of the front blade, works a bit faster for me.
