Which will provide a more accurate sight picture quicker?

A U shaped rear notch or a less tight fitting square notch. Both would be with a fiber optic front on a 2 1/2 inch revolver.

Wider rear sight gives you faster target acquisition. It's the opposite reason for target irons to be small.

IMO a U or square shape makes no difference but a wider front sight makes a huge difference with a wider rear notch, for a fast self defense signt picture you want to see light on each side of a wide front sight.

I don't thick the shape of the bottom of the notch makes a difference.

Just fire when you get all your ducks in a row on the target.

A 2.5" revolver is a Nose, Throat and Ear gun…

Or a point shoot.

You don't need to be able to shoot 25 yards for self defense IMO.

That's me 2¢


—I bought some paint that glows when you hit it with a light real fast to paint my revolver front and my carry/bedside gun.

Ha, I just realized it's for a snub.

No, but I might need to take a longer shot in the woods, if you know what I mean. At 10 yards I don't even use the sights. Just point and shoot.

That's what the 6" barrel is for

Who thinks 2.5" is going to get the job done?

Sometimes that's all you have to work with
