It has occurred to me in home defense, I wouldnt have time to don glasses. So today I tried shooting the revolver super-test with just range glasses.
Yikes!
Only familiarity with the gun gave me some clue where the FS was.
My 15-yard target looked like it’d been hit by a load of 000 fired from a rifled barrel.
5 & 10 were close to passable.
The gun is a 3” M-64 with painted FS. Shooting with my grandpa glasses, I normally score 162-172. This is my carry and night stand gun.
I fared a little better with a 4” M66 equipped with a 1/10” FO post.
While there’s nowhere in my house I’d have a 15-yard shot, I’d like to be able to see my front sight when I wake up suddenly in a dark house. Is it time to think about a laser? Red dot? Different gun?
I have a Novak night sight of the same height as the M-64s ramp. I think it’s high time to get it installed.
So you other folks who can’t see an FS without glasses, what’s on your bedside for when something goes bump in the night and you can’t grab your specs?
