Flat Black "Target" Sights vs. Single-Dot Sights

but sight picture was still something I needed to work on; I threw quite a few shots because of a sloppy front sight alignment because I instinctively shot as soon as it was in visible between the notch, regardless of whether it was vertically/horizontally aligned or not.

Instructors like Hackathorn and Proctor do a demo where they wildly misalign their sights at 7 yards, both horizontal and vertical, but surprisingly most shots are still A zone or just inside C zone.

It's amazing what a crappy sight picture with a smooth trigger press straight to the rear can do.

I think one of the light bulb moments in shooting is when you realize this.

Isn't everything you shoot at a target?

My friend has Hackathorn's on his Glock. His 25 yard performance on a B8 is rather incredible.

For the most part I agree with your target comment. However, I have known of 3 individuals who had a handgun on their person or under their control and had 3 unintended discharges and became the unintended target of the bullet leaving the barrel!
