I've been experimenting with different
sights on my carry/IDPA guns.
Over a period of many months, I've tried
plain black, white dot, flourescent paint,
tritium. Each had its advantages; each
had its shortcomings for my fifty-three
year old eyes.
The problem I was having was with fast
front sight acquisition.
In December,a competetive shooter suggested
a fiber-optic front sight.
I've been using one on my gov model for
two IDPA matches now, and it works!
I've coupled the red fiber-optic front with
a Wilson adjustable (black) rear. The
combination is far superior to anything
else I've tried. At last weekend's match
several of the younger shooters wanted to
see what I was using. Apparently they had
spotted that big red "glow" from behind
the firing line.
Just wanted to share my experience with
the rest of you geezers who, like me, may
need a little edge as you age.
