Some people swear by fixed sights, some swear by adjustable sights? What sights do you prefer and why?

 

[KC135]

Sights

Fixed, reason fewer parts.

I do carry adjustable sighted revolvers on occasion. All carry autos are fixed.

 

[Rem700]

I prefer fixed sight just because theres less to break and also fixed sight usually dont snag on clotheing as easily.

I insist on fixed for all of my carry guns, and prefer they be tritium. I am always leary of adjustable sights breaking or getting knocked out of alignment or at a minimum snagging on clothes, as Rem700 said.

 

[Bud White]

As with what the other said i prefer fixed.. Heck i think most of my handguns but 3 have fixed sights on them anyways.

 

[nighthawk]

Fixed for all CCW guns. Adjustable for range guns if they come with the gun.

All my current CCW sidearms have BGBGBH (see * below) adjustable sights; y\'all probably consider them \"fixed\" sights. Less moving parts, less snag-prone, all the usual reasons. At civilian defensive handgun range, they\'re adequate. I can keep all rounds from my M642 on paper at 25 yards, standing unsupported; same for my Kimber Ultra CDP at 50 yards. My NAA Black Widow? Well, 15 yards, but it\'s a \"when I CAN\'T carry another sidearm\" option, and I consider it a whole lot better than nothing!

When I was in law enforcement, working plainclothes & felony stakeout assignments (late 70s & early 80s), I felt obliged to do better for my constituents. At the top o'the heap in those days was the S&W M19, which had adjustable sights. With my 4\" model, sighted for my favorite load (Remington 125 gr. JHPs), I could reliably keep my hits in the scoring rings of a B27 silhouette at 100 yards, from any braced position.

As a \"mere civilian,\" I have no expectation of engaging an assailant at that range in self defense. I know, I know; anything is possible, but still . . .

All of my carry guns have fixed sights for all of the usual reasons.

I\'m on the fixed side of the fence, also. All my guns have fixed and they all get carried on occasion.Even though adjustable have there uses and alot of people prefer them I just don\'t find them useful or cosmetically appealing.J.M.H.O. Have a safe and happy new year :rock: , Lazyace1975.
