Now, some will say that concentration on the front sight is the most important issue, which we agree with, whole heartedly.  However, when you are looking at the grand masters and national champions, please remember that they shoot 50,000 rounds a year.  It is their job.  They know how to aim their guns like you and I know how to point at something with our finger.  Sights for them are not nearly as important as sights are for you and me (the amateurs).  When you have a lot of practice, like I did when I was a kid and shot 1000 BBs and soda cans in my back yard a week, you eventually didn’t need the sights.  Like the Wild West, you could just walk down a road, do a hip shot and have all the accuracy in the world.

1)  Fixed or Standard sights

• Glock’s factory sights are not the greatest for competition.  We would highly recommend that you would upgrade to a 3 dot system.  It is the quickest and most accurate system available, unless your personal preferences and experiences dictate otherwise.  Night-sights are the best choice for these as they allow for both day and nighttime shooting.

2)  Adjustable sights

• If you are going to be changing the distance of your shooting on a regular basis, or your ammo selection, we highly recommend going with adjustable sights.  Adjustable sights allow you to hone in your sights to the conditions you are shooting.

3)  Optics

• There is a wide variety with plenty of price differences.  Essentially, you get what you pay for. 

What are optics?

• Optics are scopes.  On hand guns, generally they are not magnified.  They are battery powered lasers that project a single red dot on the lens that allow you to shoot with BOTH EYES OPEN and achieve the fastest target position possible.  On some models, the size and intensity of the laser dot can be adjusted for long range accuracy or quick acquisition.

There are two different kinds of optic scopes: 1) tube style scope (BSARD30), and 2) a heads-up display.  The heads up display is, generally speaking, the better and faster of the two.  Tube style is a tube with a lens of glass on each end of the tube.  The heads-up style is more like a projector, where there is a lens towards the front of your weapon with a laser projecting onto it.  The heads up is less obtrusive to your field of view.  This is because your eyes are not focused through a tube.  Heads-up are used by more professionals and are usually more expensive.  Again, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for.
