I'm not sure that's accurate. Here's what I can tell you. When I'm shooting well, I can see the serrations in the front site clearly. I can remember the site picture for each and every shot I take. Literally.
I used to believe that this was nonsense and it was impossible, but it isn't. If I'm on my game and doing what I'm supposed be doing I'm aware of the sites as I break each shot.
My gut feeling is it something you have to learn how to do. I did. But I'm also learned that I can put two in the Alpha at 7 yards without seeing the sights at all.

There's more to it than this. It's about seeing what you need to see to break the shot.
You cannot expect to be making 50 yard shots without razor crisp sight focus. It just isn't going to happen. But at 7 yards you may be able to get away with not looking at all. You need to learn what it takes to get an alpha each and every time you pull the trigger at every distance.
I don't care if you're training for the Olympics. The point is the same. You need to know exactly what you need to see in order to be successful. The only way to get that information is to practice it every distance. Find out what it takes to get the 7 yard alpha every time. Then see what it takes to get that same Alpha at 15 yards. Then 20.

Do you wear glasses? A big hinderance for front sight focus is glasses that are designed to make the focal length longer than the front sight. I have shooting glasses that put the front sight in razor sharp focus and it help substantially.

I'm glad to see the race master has improved. I was an early adopter and it was not good. It didn't fit the trigger guard of any of the 4 STI grips I had and took a lot of grinding to make it work. It was smooth eventually, but any modifications at all were too many for a holster of that cost.

Other than classifiers where you might lose 0.10 of a second, a race holster has no value in practical shooting.... Aside from showing off your fancy gun.
I like showing off my fancy gun, but prefer to not have worry about dropping it, scratching it on poppers, banging the sights into stuff and risking a DQ.

My big dog has crap hips. It's my fault I'm sure for running the heck out of him when he was a puppy. Dog loves to fetch.
I digress.
Every once in a while he has these limping spells. They last a few days and he recovers. The vet tells me once a year at his annual that the dogs hips are shot and to expect to have to start giving the dog steroids and painkillers. And year after year the dog deals with it. No whining. Just moves a little slower than he used to.
People should be so tough. This has been going on for 5 years.

I have pretty much nothing nice to say about race holsters. I've tried them all. And I mean all. I use Kydex. Fast, safe and no gimmicks.

If you have the skill to shoot a double, you have the skill to move them apart a little to make it easier to score. A perfect double is damn near impossible.

I know of a master that made it with a Trubor. I bought the gun from him and couldn't make A. Apparently it was the Indian.

It isn't safe. You're shooting at a target who's movement is unpredictable. Sure you can bet on the physics of a dead middle shot, but what about an edger? Now all bets are off.
With that said, there are a lot of variables that make shooting steel predictable. One of them is distance. Another is steel of a proper thickness and hardness so as to create a repeatable reaction when the bullet impacts.
In reality, the best you can demonstrate for a reluctant board is a host of precautions. For example, "I don't engage steel at a distance less than the uspsa mandated distance, I'm shooting at new steel without pockmarks that's of sufficient hardness to flatten the projectile and targets are setup so that loose rounds are captured within the depths of the bay..."
If they're out for blood, you're most likely in trouble in my opinion.

That's funny actually.

I'm all about a 22 top end on the race gun. Same feel, better practice.

WTF is a carriage return? My ipad doesn't seem to have a carriage ANYWHERE?!!!!?
-
I might try a guy with a TIG and Silicon Bronze. I bet it could be done with minimal damage. Silicon Bronze melts way lower than the steel but bonds with it nicely and flows really well.. .

I've been out for going on 10 months. Just starting to heal enough to shoot again. I didn't want a year off...

Look at your grips, steel MSH, and full length guide rod. Big weight in those buggers.

Develop habits and never deviate from them. ULSC then empty, clean, refill. Never deviate. Helps with the focus on your stage plan for the next stage. If you know you're ready you can concentrate.

There Is no way the current legislation won't have a negative impact those days. Here in the south it'll be as busy. Might be moreso with the renewed fascination with guns.
But the gun-control states like Connecticut, Maryland, New York, and Colorado are going to have a crisis in my opinion. Its going to be harder to be shooting open or limited without running afoul of the current laws.
-
Neither. I've tried all of them. The ghost, the DAA, the CR speed, the limcat... all them. In the end I went to Kydex and got a fantastic holster from ready tac.
Every bit as fast none of the nonsense.

Eddie, I'm a horder now.

I order a case of mg 180gr Cmj on Sunday. They arrived today.

Montana gold order placed on Sunday arrived today. 180gr Cmj.

None at all. Straight irons are just as fast and provide more accurate aiming data.

You can tell by the slide stop machining on the port side that its an original frame. That's cool. A piece of history.
