Adjustable vs. fixed sights?

[Benni]

Hi,
Great forum with a lot of information!
Yesterday I purchased my first pistol, a Glock 17 with Truglo sights. I’ll be picking it up on Friday but I just released that truglo sights are fixed (right?). I’m mostly used to rifles etc from time in the military and I find it a little odd that you can’t adjust the sights. My experience with a rifle is that the first thing you do is to adjust the sights so is fits you. Nothing wrong with the rifle but people tends to aim a bit differently.

Or am I missing something here? I’m starting to wonder if the truglo sights were a bad choice and that I should have gone for something adjustable.

Please share your experiences!
Thanks a lot,
Benni

Generally, pistols because of the range you usually shoot them, 25yards and under, don't need to be adjusted as much as a rifle.

Also if you, or the gun, is shooting right or left you can drift the rear sight in the dovetail to compensate.

If you shoot certain competitions that isn't as generous with the A-zone as IPSC or IDPA, you might need an adjustable rear sight.

That's my opinion and worth every penny you paid.;)

Thanks for the answer! Makes sense.
