Handgun Sights (picture thread)

[pokersamurai]

Post a photo of what sights you run on your handguns, and any likes or dislikes about your particular sights?

I run Meprolight Tru-Dot sights on my Glock 19, CZ-75, and PX4: (The Tru-Dot are rugged, very bright, and relatively inexpensive.)

I run XS Big Dot sights on my Glock 26. (I love these sights. They are very quick to acquire, and I find them to be just as accurate as 3 dot sights once you get used to them.)

I run Truglo TFOs on my G19. They have great day and night visibility. They are tough; they can withstand being used to rack the slide off of my shoe.

Hack Sights from Ameriglo on my M&P9.

I like the bright front dot and plain rear. The rear sight is also angled enough to aid in single-handed manipulations.

Those look great.

I do wonder how the rest of you can stand all those dots and stuff on the rear sight, I find that very distracting.

I'll snap a pic of my sights on my carry gun and post it here, just saving a spot. I have a 10-8 .140" U notch rear and a front .125" night sight.

Everyone has their own preference on which sights they prefer, and everyone shoots differently.

For me, It's not that hard to focus on the front sight using three dot sights. I've used both three dot and "dot the i" style sights and with practice you can make accurate hits quickly with both.

Personally, I don't care for all black sights or sights with only an illuminated front post. IMO, guns are designed with rear sights for a reason, and if you are shooting in low light or no light situations (especially at longer ranges or against moving targets) you need to know where your rear sight is to make accurate hits (unless you're right up on your target, in which case perfect sight alignment isn't all that necessary anyways).

Like I said, that's just my preference, YMMV.

I personally use Big Dots with great success.
