I know that different types of sights are good for different things so I guess I had better narrow this down to combat pistols. The sights I have seen include plain black on black, 3 dot, Sig's bar/dot (Stovenhagen?), Glocks goal post/dot, and ghost rings.
I've heard that the 3 dot is best for overall accuracy and that ghost rings are fastest for target acquisition. I feel that the bar/dot system allows rapid sight acquisition along the horizontal axis but is slower for vertical alignment. The black on black is hardest IMHO for rapid sight acquistion and difficult to use on dark targets. I like Glock's sights as they allow pretty rapid target acquisition but they are definately not for fine target shooting.
If you guys want, feel free to comment on laser or red dot sights. I know red dots are the preferred sight for IPSC type competitions.
