Proper Combat Sights

Non-Adjustable Sights. On a combat pistol I avoid adjustable sights as adjustable sights seem to always be relied upon to accomplish one thing—work their way out of adjustment. I use only ‘hardened’ sights. They are not adjustable in the conventional sense of the term. In order to adjust properly hardened target sights it will require tools to adjust them. Typically, hardened, steel sights fit into dovetailed slots positioned to the rear and front of the slide, and can only be moved by using a special tool or by striking them with a flat-headed punch. Once adjusted it is possible to use adhesives or staking pins to keep them from ever shifting. Such sights are generally of robust build, typically fabricated from steel. After setting my front and rear sights, I will use a dot of dark red nail polish to mark both of them. That way I can pick up any one of my pistols, readily discern if there is a break in the nail polish, and if not then the sights are still good to go. It’s a relatively simple fix to an otherwise potentially fatal problem. We have literally lost count of the number of shooters in our courses throughout the years who have had misadjusted sights and were completely unaware of it. In a gunfight this could prove disastrous—you could do everything right yet still miss your target. To pay such a high price and not employ such a simple fix is foolish. Mark your sights.
