Sites aren't nearly as important on hand gun as on a rifle. Especially for the smaller barreled ("snub nose") models commonly used for self-defense. Aiming well with them at any distance is a matter of practice, patience and a high familiarity with how that specific weapon acts. Besides, if you're looking to defend yourself then there's really no problem: anybody close enough to you warrant actually shooting at them is too close to aim at with the sites anyway. Anybody far enough away to warrant measured aim with the sites is too far away to shoot at - brandishing the weapon (or a warning shot at most) should do nicely. If you can't hit an average-sized guy at less than 10' away then messed up sites aren't your problem. If you're shooting at people at more than 10' away then messed up sites are the least of your worries. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:280422 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
