Glock 17 Sights

[gregst]

I shoot IDPA & target. The gun shoots pretty accurately with stock sights. What advantage would I gain by going to another sight? Someone at the range says that he really likes Heine Slant/Pros (not night tyep). If another sight system would improve my accuracy I would invest in the change. Suggestions are welcome.

Fairly new to this, but doing well, and native intelligence serves.

There are always axioms. There are always variables.

By analogy, take watches or clocks...

Do you prefer analog or digital?

Roman or Arabic?

Contrast + or - (white on black or the reverse)?

Are you color blind?

What grabs your eye and trips your trigger?

For me, that hour hand reaching the next mark = oh, s#%t! Somehow, while I recognize the implications of 4:59, it does not alarm me...

My oldest son is just the opposite. My youngest, doesn't care. We are emotional beings with only a few constants.

Clearly, you care! ;)

Think about it. How many calibers and chamberings do we need? Yet, you will find fierce proponents of each increment. Don't cross them.

In Britania and Australia, they drive on the "wrong" side...

I wish I were good enough to shoot competitively (I shoot a G-21); but what I see of other people's targets, and by the quiet nods of old-timers, I'm encouraged.

For all disciplines there are founding basics. Beyond that, bad habits aside, it's very personal.

Keep searching and experimenting.
