My carbine is an AR with a comp m3, so I've got the standard hold over issues at closer ranges.
My carry pistol is an SA lightweight 1911. It came from the factory shooting ~2" high at 25 yards. I decided to leave it as it came for a while to let the jury come in on that arrangement. Then I read Bill Wilson's recommendation for exactly that formula for a 1911, and heard the same thing from a knowledgeable friend who is on a "federal team with domestic responsibilities".
Getting used to the difference between POA / POI on the SA didn't take long and now I rather prefer it.
I'm now wondering if I would have trouble transitioning between the different holdover / holdunder arrangements between pistol and carbine if I had to use either under stress. It doesn't seem to be a problem on the square range, but we all know how well that applies to real life.
