I guess I do "swing" to target for HD.

Following a few recent threads and seeing today, a post about "in-sight neo" and a following reply regarding sight plane... IT HIT ME!!! I use only a single bead as it is out of sight. It is not blocking my view your complicating my use of the gun. In a full shoulder mount my head is in my very well ingrained position. I try not to swing my gun to look around, rather I move my eyes. No need to have the gun waving around possibly giving away my position. when I decide on a target I can swing my gun and head to the target and drop the hammer. Since I ain't swinging on a 20-40mph dust dove quartering away at 25 yards or better than I don't need the 28 inch barrel. Reduced shooting distance negates that need down to a handy 18-20 inch or so...

The shotguns I use for HD have either GR sights (most versatile IMHO) or a tritium front bead sight only (possibly the quickest). As of now, my main "go to" HD shotgun has the tritium front bead. As you mentioned earlier, the front bead is great for quick sight/target acquisition.

When it comes to CQ HD + aiming (regardless of weapon), the front sight becomes paramount in importance...all else is secondary to me. Hence, having a "front bead only" sight goes hand in hand with this philosophy.
 
Actually for CQ shotgun work I would go "No Bead" but I would lose the little brass bugger in the cleaning tote...:o A brass bead also adds the requisite "class" to my Mossberg, without it my all black, poplar stock, rattle and jingle 500 20 gauge wouldn't be the gentleman's gun it is...:D

Well, I prefer having at least something up front vs. going sans bead...but, I get the gist of what you mean.
