Do I surmise that you have removed the sights from your Self Defense weapons to reduce weight, increasing your speed, as you don't use them anyway?

No, that would be silly. But, I did remove them from my ex-m&p for training purposes. I'm only talking 3-7 yards here, anuthing further i'm using the sights (if time permitted).

Have you tried point shooting, Col? You would be surprised how your npoa relates to where your eyes are looking. Have you seen 's video shooting 25yds no sights?

At 3-7 yards, time is rapidly running out. From concealed carry, how long does it take you to be ready to pull the trigger? How long does it take an aggressor to cover 5 yards. As you say..ymmv

As a matter of fact, The American Handgun Magazine Jan/Feb 2014 just had an entire article ( about 6 pages) and cover on Glocks and the new sights.

So much for being first on the floor to do it.

Looks like a lot of tactical companies that customize Glocks are looking into these sights.

They are light weight and fast!

These sights are also going to be available for 1911's

When I put XS Big Dots on my carry guns, people looked and said WHAT!!!!, but I will tell you that as your yes get older you need all of the help you can get.

Now if you are competing in Steel Challenge or IPSC or Glock Matches this is the way to go.
