If you have your pistol for "self defense", forget the sights...There's a GOOD chance that you won't have time to use them. It's best to practice "point-shooting", and survive in a REAL gunfight. "Take your time, in a hurry"...Wyatt Earp.

Yes. I was taught to point shoot back in the Army in the late 60's. I'm still good out to about 10 yards thankfully. Body odor distance I really ain't gonna need no stinkin' sights just pull and shoot. I like Wyatt's advice. Thanks.

I have XS big dot sights on my Glock 23. Fast on target, more than adequate precision at gun fight distance; the more distance the more time to aim. Very good sight in low light. The XS big dot is not a competition bulls-eye system, it is for fighting. Practice improves accuracy a lot. Funny how that works.

I have always noticed how accuracy does improve with practice too. Funny that.

I have XS Big dots on my G43. Plenty accurate out to 20 yrds or so the one time I put them on paper. However, I hate bullseye shooting and prefer to ring steel at defensive distances all day long. They are very fast, and accuracy is never an issue. Great carry sights, but it all depends on user preference and what you will be doing with the gun you put them on.

I have the XS Bigdots on my Glock 26 & 22. They are fast to aquire the target but I haven't got the hang of using them for precision. I'm keeping them on my carry Glocks but my next Glock will have the Trijicon HD sights on them: http://www.amazon.com/Trijicon-Night-Sight-Glock-Pistols/dp/B004W5D830

Thats probably how I would go!
