    That sounds like an eminently sensible approach for fiber optic sights-and makes me think it would be particularly useful if you're concurrently running one gun with fiber optics, and another with a RDS.

    But for irons or irons with dots, I think #2 still works best for me.

    Best, Jon

    No real issues. I drive the dot with irons simply because I'm unable to focus on the top of the front sight.

    Sight picture 2 (what I call center of mass from my service rifle days) doesn't give me any better accuracy and is slower.

    It's also why every handgun I own gets a fiber optic front if it's possible.

    Indeed, I partially bought the new pistol because it is RDS compatible. I haven't made the jump but likely in a year.

    Folks,

    Thanks so much for your wonderful replies. I think the next step for me is to go back to the range and really work on my trigger press.

    The reason I started using sight picture 3 is because someone suggested it try using it.

    My personal rule is that I always ask for the "why" behind every suggestion I get. If the person offering advice can't articulate the reason for or benefit of their advice, I'm inclined to ignore it.

    I like deep notches; like .120 or .130. I haven't found an adjustable with deep notches.
    So I'm stuck with fixed sights.
