Just wondering what everyone likes for their sight picture on their handguns. Talking metallic (not red dot) sights.
I do mostly action pistol shooting under time pressure and time limitations, at distances between 5 and 50 yards.
I like a thin enough front sight that I can see a decent amount of light on either side of the front sight as it sits in the slot of the rear sight. This helps for faster alignment. I like a fiber optic front (brass bead okay too) also for fast acquisition.
As to the sight picture/target alignment I like to use a 4 inch black dot for my targets. I line up the front and rear sights evenly with the top edge of both sights being even with the bottom edge of the 4 inch dot. Bullets hitting center of the dot with that picture. That way I can see the whole dot. I have found this set up is easiest for fast target acquisition and it has really sped up my idpa times.
Interested in what others are doing and for what uses and purposes.
