Ha! Everybody knows the P&R Model 19 with a 2.5" barrel is The Best Handgun Ever Made.
Too large to carry easily and too small to shoot easily.
I'm not going to any war, but I'm also not applying to be an immigration officer that can open carry on a big fat batman belt.What war you going to Steve?
Are you really saying an L frame is too small to shoot easily? The Best Handgun Ever Made is also very light made with titanium and scandium so it should be a joy to carry.

Bob Munden can hit a balloon at 200 yards with a trench sights on a J frame. Three times in a row. If you can't that's on you. Don't blame the gun. The sights on The Best Handgun Ever are actually really good for accuracy.The minimalist sights make it hard to shoot easily/accurately at distance more than a couple yards.
Doesn't change the fact that adjustable sights on a S&W are prone to snagging.Agents working undercover don't "open carry on a big fat batman belt".

Do you know what happens when you take a teenie weenie screw driver and turn that little windage screw too far? It breaks off. That's the actual recommend way to change that little tiny leaf.
S&W knows this, that's why on their last attempt to make the ulitmate L and K frame carry guns, known as the Night Guard they used a non-adjustable sight. I believe they are made by Cylinder and Slide.
Yes, Bob is exceptional. I'm nowhere near his level but he illustrates my point that trench sites can be used to great effectiveness in capable hands. To say you can't hit the broad side of a barn only proves the shooter is really bad at shooting.Bob Munden's probably not a good person to reference in this case, he could do all kinds of things no normal human can do with a pistol!
As far as sights go if you look at the statistics nearly all self defense situations occur at very close range, the natural point of aim of the gun is way more important than the type of sight IMO.
Look at your target, close your eyes draw and point your gun at it, open them, if your gun isn't pointed at the target you have the wrong gun in your hand.
Because The Best Handgun Ever (my 242) has a pinned front sight I can easily change it for tritium or fiber but going back to what you said earlier, it's more of a point and shoot ordeal. Night sights only serve to find your gun in the dark, otherwise you're point shooting and hopefully not into darkness, that would be reckless.Those are all daytime guns btw, don't see any night sights on any of them, fine if you don't go out after the sun sets.
My Smith 1911 has the brightest set of tritium sights I've ever seen, easily seen on the nightstand in the dark or in a parking lot at night.
So, let me see if I have this right, all the decades that S&W put adjustable sights on their guns, guys with their "teenie weenie screw driver" were turning the windage screw too far, causing a breakage that prevented them from defending themselves? What comes next, are they the wrong color?
