I thought there was some additional functionality with combat sights. The rear sight being a 90 degree angle to allow the slide to rack on a belt or table top.
I love the fact you added the Graphics in the video to explain exactly what you’re referring to. This is going to be an excellent video to show new shooters
Big ups to this man not only giving great information and having visual examples... But he's in a desert and still able to keep his train of thought and patiently explain in the heat. 👌🏾 love these videos
Here’s the takeaway: a front night sight will always be visible in all conditions. Target or fiber optics will not. Go try your fiber optic against a field of dirt. Then switch to green woods. Then go in the house well lit. Then turn the lights down. You’ll see. In certain environments red may be easier to acquire than green, or vice versa. Or you may not see them at all. But true night sights are always bright. Buy once cry once. Now go save up for that ACOG.
Blackout serreted rear with 2 subdued tritium vials and fiber optic front lit with tritium would be superior to night sights but for some reason isn't on the market aside from truglo TFO's but they're too busy
Trying to find the rear sight in CQB is a good way to get in trouble. Stop worrying about the rear sight! At 15 yards and in, raise up and look for the front sight, Hold the gun so you see the front sight on target while looking down the slide and just over the rear sight. Put the sight a little low, and squeeze the trigger. Your eyes will naturally center that front sight to the center the slide. Try it, it works. In CQB think shotgun... all you need is a bead on target. Same principle applies here.
At 10 meters you don´t need sights. Just line up the gun. I am not sure if you need sights at 15 meters to hit human size torso. So i prefer target sights on self defense situation so you can hit 25 yards human head size shots. You could need accuracy on close range too. You are not always on desert, highway or on a big street and bad guys can use cover too. Just my opinion. If you are poor shooter then you should get good pistol to make those ranged shots. Sure they cost more but are worth it. Learning to shoot is way easier with a good and good target sights or red dot.
Are you guys cops? If so, that explains the 90% miss ratio of all involved shootings "hurr durr who needs sights, just point shoot your pistol sonny, you can hit a man sized target at X yards".
@@paddypibblet846 People miss in shootings because that is what happens in gun fights. Look at in war how 90 percent of kills were from people that couldn’t even clearly see each other, killing each other with suppressive fire. That time you take to line up your target could cost you your life if you just put more shots down range. Especially considering cops have advantage in numbers, and a single bullet hitting could debilitate and end the threat. These two comments also didn’t say don’t aim and just shoot, especially the first one. They provided ways to hit targets without going grandma speed when you’re extremely close to your target. You’d also know that only aiming using the sights at close range is stupid because the bullet trajectory means your sights are only 100 percent in target at where you zeroed the sights and where they zero again as the bullet drops in its curve. Before it zeros, it hits way lower than your sights tell you, and after it zeros, it will hit higher and eventually hit lower again. This happens as the bullet enters its arch after being shot.
Sights and people vary, but I generally get good precision from combat sights with time and training. I generally prefer the high visibility and fast target acquisition of combat sights to the sometimes difficult to acquire target sights. While I like tritium inserts, I admit their utility is questionable. Often when it’s dark, you need target identification with a light. Variables matter, but a bright light on the pistol, or even muzzle flash, may wash out the glow of the sights, leaving you with basically iron sights anyway. Thank you for the video! 😊
Thank you. I switched out my carry gun and couldn't figure out why my accuracy suffered so much. I went from target sights to combat and I can't hit crapola. This reason makes sense.
A company needs to come out with an actual GOOD hybrid fiberoptic / tritium sight. Only truglo & trijicon put out worthwhile models and they both have glaring negatives as well.
For what it's worth, I've had Truglo TFOs on my G19 for about 7 years now, and while they're definitely a little faded compared to ar first, they're still super bright, can seem all three dots if I roll over in the middle of the night and the gun is on the nightstand. No perfect mousetrap but those TFOs have been good to me.
I have Trijicon HD night sights and their HD XR’s for my CCW firearm. I prefer the original wider front sight of the HD’s because it has phenomenally fast target acquisition compared the the more precise XR with a thinner front post (rear dovetail the same both kits). Everyone wants accuracy but when it matters under stress speed within range is ideal in my opinion. The XR’s take almost a second longer to properly focus between the rear sight (lots of lights on both sides of rear post plus top edge alignment of both front and rear is also more difficult to articulate). Agree with discussion! 😎🇺🇸
+1 ... I've seen 👀 & used a few versions since the 1990s. In my view, 2023 1 of the best duty or carry-defense pistol sights is Trijicon HD orange. Easy to see, good in low light, can handle carry/rough use, not affected by gun oils, CLP, solvents. I prefer the HD over HD xr but both versions can aid the user, officer.
The one-and-only way I shoot is in well-lit ranges at paper bulls-eye targets. I have 7 pistols, all of which have at least a 5" barrel. I recently purchased a new Anaconda. Colt departed from the original white square rear sight, and went with an all black sight instead. It is my only pistol with a black rear sight, and that is going to have to change soon. When I am focusing on the front sight, it means the rear sight is slightly out of focus. Having a white square line on the rear sight really helps with centering both horizontally and lining up vertically.
Excellent explanation, as your inexpensive grip enhancements video. $1.79 a foot at hardware stores grip tape works phenomenal without expensive stippling which does wear. Thank you again for excellent informative content. Respectfully submitted.
I still practice with irons on every range trip which current is once per week and I usually fire around 200 rounds of 9mm BUT I do most of my pistol shooting with a Trijicon RMR. However because I've been practicing so much for the last couple years I can make hits at 100 yards on a steel gong with either irons or RMR and I can even do it with a little .22lr Sig Mosquito pistol. It's easier with an RMR but now that I've really put some rounds through my guns and set aside at least one day a week to training I can do it consistently with both irons and the optic.
I use combat night sights for carry guns because sometimes it's dark out. For home defense, combat blacked out rear and fiber optic green or yellow front with a weapon light. In a dimly lit home, fiber optic will still be visible while luminescent sight rings have disappeared and it's still too bright for tritium to glow. Turn on the weapon light, and the only thing that matters is sight shape, since your sights will be perfect black silhouettes behind all that light. Tritium, luminescent, fiber optic, don't matter with the weapon light on.
Had your eyes checked once in a while? There is a strong correlation with age. You can have protective glasses made for exactly having the front sight as sharp as possible.
Makes sense now, I have shot and handled guns with target sights, and always hated them.. I like the old school 3 dot, sights. I don't like blacked out rear sights at all either. Just bought a gong, first one, says to shoot at least 12 yards/pistol, that's the furthest I've shot since the Indiana hero drill came out, can't remember his name, maybe Dylan something or other. I did that drill a few trips to the range, went back to 3 to 10 yards.
In 2023, I just got new Tru Glo TFX pro orange for my used Glock .45acp model 41. I'm adding Cerakote Elite Midnight(dark blue). I mostly get HD orange Trijicon style on my Glocks, M&Ps. Glock's Ameriglo 3 dot is not bad.
I prefer battlesights, most combat rifles have battle sights which is the thicker front post bulkier look. Now why? Number 1 reason is Windage advantage. With thin front sights yes your more precise however when it comes to windage your gonna have to now aim off target with this thin fine sights. Comparing the Springfield 1903 front sight to a m1 Garand. The Springfield 1903 was a target rifle brought to the battlefield. Did it do its job? Yes! USMC riflemen in ww1 we’re shooting and hitting Germans at 800 meters. Ww2 kicks off but the engagements are now closer due to environment, tactics, etc… the m1 Garand has a thicker blockier front sight but medium size aperture giving the rifle a quick acquisition in close quarters. When it came to long distance rather adjusting your entire sights by clicking left or right. You would do a hold over. Taking that small part of the thicker front sight on a target and just moving it over slightly does the same as adjusting your sights but without touching them. This the became to be the battle sight zero. At that time the m1 Garand typically was zeroed at 100 yards. If 100 yards was not given then a 50 yard zero will do just as good but not as precise. Now why a 50 yard zero. Well bullets have this thing called ballistics where a bullet shoots out of the barrel and flies in the air. As it’s flying it’s also falling and eventually hitting the ground. What the military found was a 50 yard zero was able to hit dead center at 50, rise up a inch or sometimes half a inch at 100 and back down at 200 close to dead center. Without adjusting your sights at all your sights can hit just about anything from 50-200 yards or meters.
You covered the difference thoroughly in under 7 minutes. I liked how you used yourself as a prop for the lesson, not an approach I've seen. Might steal that. Lol
A target sight is usually larger and fully adjustable or adjustable for windage, the idea being to dial the sight in so the gun shoots exactly were you aim it. If its not adjustable then its a fixed "iron" sight. The original iron combat sights were small for pistols usually carried in a holster. But in more recent years sights got larger with added dots for faster target acquisition.
good video, you can use target sights in self defence especially from close range, sometimes you don't even have time to aim With combat sights you can indeed shoot less accurately I would put target sights on all my pistols
The green beret who's been in combat (frank proctor) is making "target" sights, and the Tru Glo sights designed by "someguy" who most assuredly haven't seen combat are combat sights, makes sense.
To be precise, Proctor's sights are more of a hybrid. We are using them to highlight a tight rear sight and thin front sight. It's hard to find a good photo of the setup we want to show for target sights.
I heard from a long time pro pistol shooter that red is the worst color on the spectrum it close to the lower end that's why submarines use it you can see but it gets the eyes more comfortable to work but green is closer to the middle so now I use green and I do notice it easy for me to focus witch works out good because I usually buy trijicon tritium sight and they are available in colors at and up charge I was use to green and I put them on all three of my larger cal.guns 2 9mm and my 45acp and my shooting has improved remarkablely
If I want something in between, I have a lot of combat experience, in life-threatening situations, but with m-14 and mag, o,5" etc I've just started the hand gun experience. And I'm getting pretty good, but not nearly as with rifles. So I want sights that will help me be more precise on target. While my coldness and experience in combat help me get on target faster than the enemy. Any recommendations?
Hi Sir, i liked your videos, one question. I play IDPA here in Italy, and i run Glocks. Which one of sights is better for IDPA in your opion? I mean, in IDPA the targets are not too far, and it’s a “difensive” sport. On my G41 i’ve put the combat sights and it’s great. I’m lokking to change the sights on my G17 for IDPA match, actually i’ve the standard Glock sight on my 17, thank you bye and forgive my bad english.
Concerning combat sights, his reasoning is why XS big dot sights are so good. You have the precise centering of the front dot on top of a thin white line. You also, unlike his sights, naturally focus on the front green or orange dot, not the rear sight stripe.
Only my preference, on my 17, I use a thin front (fibre), but a wide rear. It is accurate enough to hit at 50 Metres but also faster to find up close. To put a name to a product, I like the Sevigny Performance Glock Target Sights
You keep referring and picturing Frank Proctor's rear sight as a "target" sight. I think he would disagree. If using the terminology your terminology, the Proctor sight would be sort of a hybrid between the two. The larger portion at the top is used for quick alignment and serves the same purpose as larger light bands around the sights and has tighter light bands deeper in the notch to aide precision alignment. I disagree with the statements that larger notch and blade width equal less precision, especially with older eyes. It has been my experience that we can do good precision work with much "coarser" sights than most people think, especially off the range in varying light conditions.
It’s an image to show the narrow rear sight and thin front sight- we know it is a hybrid and we me ruin hybrids in the description. We couldn’t find a good image of target sights. As for a wide front sight vs narrow front sight, if one can be as precise with a wide front sight, great. But manufacturers like Trijicon know this isn’t the normal case which is why they created their line of thinner front sights.
Biggest issue I’m finding with combat sights is in poor lighting the front sight washes out. So you lose the benefits of the combat sight, mine doesn’t glow in the dark.
Cool video, good info. I must say you need more baby-oil on them arms! your arms were glistening with oil like 2 bronzed bratwursts on the grill at high noon on a 4th of July barbecue.
What does it matter what sight you use if your target is a person and that shot will HIT that person .... Its not like the difference between the 2 will result in a 6 ft difference at 20 ft ...
I found that for myself. Target sight thin front with combat sight color green helped a lot. The combo of both improved my sight ability. While my gf shoots better with combat sights and doesn't do well with the space the targets sights offer.
It has more to do with U-notch vs [_] square notch rear sights than anything else. With a U-notch rear sight you lose a great deal of your precision and pinpoint accuracy but they are faster to acquire. I personally don't care for U-notch sights and always use [_] square notch rear sights. I don't like fiber optic sights either and use plain white dots, bars and tritium night sights. In turn my accuracy usually far surpasses most of the other people shooting near or next to me by a good margin. I rarely if ever miss and I am paid well to be "that guy" at work!
Get 2 guns. Same exact guns. Example. Glocks 34s gen 5. One with combat sights one with target or optics. One for combat home defense/duty the other for competition. Learn both love both be married to none. Problem solved. 😎
I thought there was some additional functionality with combat sights. The rear sight being a 90 degree angle to allow the slide to rack on a belt or table top.
There are. We refer to the shape in the description. This video revolves around the major difference when it comes to shooting.

I prefer battlesights, most combat rifles have battle sights which is the thicker front post bulkier look. Now why? Number 1 reason is Windage advantage. With thin front sights yes your more precise however when it comes to windage your gonna have to now aim off target with this thin fine sights.
Comparing the Springfield 1903 front sight to a m1 Garand. The Springfield 1903 was a target rifle brought to the battlefield. Did it do its job? Yes! USMC riflemen in ww1 we’re shooting and hitting Germans at 800 meters.

especially from close range, sometimes you don't even have time to aim
With combat sights you can indeed shoot less accurately

Concerning combat sights, his reasoning is why XS big dot sights are so good. You have the precise centering of the front dot on top of a thin white line. You also, unlike his sights, naturally focus on the front green or orange dot, not the rear sight stripe.

Really boils down to shooter preference.
Only my preference, on my 17, I use a thin front (fibre), but a wide rear. It is accurate enough to hit at 50 Metres but also faster to find up close.
To put a name to a product, I like the Sevigny Performance Glock Target Sights
So you take a magical woman with you to compete? That's what a witch is.
Great video thanks👍
Right on!
Great video!!! 👍
nice tan bro
Combat front sight and target rear sight
You skin is so slick and glossy.
Where can you purchase the target sights?
Hello,the target sights we have.
Good info. TU
You keep referring and picturing Frank Proctor's rear sight as a "target" sight. I think he would disagree. If using the terminology your terminology, the Proctor sight would be sort of a hybrid between the two. The larger portion at the top is used for quick alignment and serves the same purpose as larger light bands around the sights and has tighter light bands deeper in the notch to aide precision alignment.
I disagree with the statements that larger notch and blade width equal less precision, especially with older eyes. It has been my experience that we can do good precision work with much "coarser" sights than most people think, especially off the range in varying light conditions.
It’s an image to show the narrow rear sight and thin front sight- we know it is a hybrid and we me ruin hybrids in the description. We couldn’t find a good image of target sights.
As for a wide front sight vs narrow front sight, if one can be as precise with a wide front sight, great. But manufacturers like Trijicon know this isn’t the normal case which is why they created their line of thinner front sights.
Great video
Biggest issue I’m finding with combat sights is in poor lighting the front sight washes out. So you lose the benefits of the combat sight, mine doesn’t glow in the dark.
Use night sights. Always bright under all conditions.
Nice.
In my opinion. When your fighting for your life. There is no greater competition in which accuracy and speed count the most…
I have a sw642- iron sights they aren’t great???
Combat nights sights💯
Cool video, good info. I must say you need more baby-oil on them arms! your arms were glistening with oil like 2 bronzed bratwursts on the grill at high noon on a 4th of July barbecue.
What does it matter what sight you use if your target is a person and that shot will HIT that person ....
Its not like the difference between the 2 will result in a 6 ft difference at 20 ft ...
I run Wilson combat sights on all of my Glocks. Trijicon bright yellow front sights.
I found that for myself. Target sight thin front with combat sight color green helped a lot. The combo of both improved my sight ability. While my gf shoots better with combat sights and doesn't do well with the space the targets sights offer.
Combat Rear - Dawson Front >
All depends if ur carrying it during a mass shoting scenario ,then every sight is combats sights ,
Is anyone aware of a high visibility tritium front sight for the S&W Bodyguard 380 (same sights fit in the Ruger LCP max).
I can't seem to find one.
Lcp max factory sight is wonder if you could call ruger
I know this is an older post but I have xs big dots on my body guard and love them. I actually now have them on all my carry guns.
The sights you train and are proficient with are your battle sights.
It has more to do with U-notch vs [_] square notch rear sights than anything else. With a U-notch rear sight you lose a great deal of your precision and pinpoint accuracy but they are faster to acquire. I personally don't care for U-notch sights and always use [_] square notch rear sights. I don't like fiber optic sights either and use plain white dots, bars and tritium night sights. In turn my accuracy usually far surpasses most of the other people shooting near or next to me by a good margin. I rarely if ever miss and I am paid well to be "that guy" at work!
Sites are useless in a defensive situation which is primarily point a shoot.
Am I the only one worried about how tanned this man is?
0% chance he dies of someone shooting at him
100% of getting skin cancer
Get 2 guns. Same exact guns. Example. Glocks 34s gen 5. One with combat sights one with target or optics. One for combat home defense/duty the other for competition. Learn both love both be married to none. Problem solved. 😎
