Howdy,
My two main carry guns are a P226 and a P229. I've never taken them to the range at the same time. I've never taken them to a class at the same time. So I've never noticed this...
My P229 with the factory night sights that are called "combat" sights, they're at point of aim. Which is my preference. Put the dot from the front sight on my target, squeeze the trigger, and the bullet goes there each and every time. DA or SA, it goes there.
My P226 with the Trijicon HD's I put on there (the sights I run on every Glock I have or will ever own) you need to put the top of the front sight under the target and squeeze the trigger. That's where the shot goes. DA or SA, it goes there.
So, I finally figured out I naturally do POI.. so when I shot the P229 and went the P226 next I noticed it.
I guess when I'm alone I don't make a conscious effort to hold the P226 on POI and just adjust as I go subconsciously.
Now my question/statement... if I prefer the factory sights hold but the Trijicon HD's visibility and functionality (90 degree cut in the rear sight for one handed manipulations), what do I do with my life?!
