    transitioning from target focus to front sight focus

    in Handgun Techniques

    great advise.

    thanks

    But what about us that can't focus on the front sight? My bifocals require that I tilt my head back to focus. The results have been worse that just letting it be fuzzy. Any suggestions for us 'old eyes' guys?

    tkheard...I also wear bifocals. I went to my optometrist and had glasses made where I could see distance from my left eye and a clear sight picture with my arms extended with my right eye. I believe they are called monovision glasses. I put them on when I get to the range. It takes a very short time to get used to. You will have a good sight picture without having to tilt your head back.

    625, 627 or 686?

    If you shoot a 627 in Production, do you have to have the reloads behind the front of your hip bone?

    No, you can have your moonclips in front like you would in ICORE. You cant use a "race" holster. I use a Blade Tec.

    After reading this post it inspired me to go to the range. I shoot a revolver and have difficulty calling my shots. I was practicing shooting at some small plates and still having a problem seeing the front sight lift. I then went to my Buckmark 22 and it was much easier to see the lift. I went back again to the revolver and told myself "smooth trigger pull". It seemed so easy after that to hit those 4"x4" plates. With the combination of a smooth trigger pull and looking for the sight to lift, I think it will help me alot. I know this sounds very basic but it finally hit home for me! Thanks for this post. Now I can start calling my shots.

    I have a half dozen or so PC revolvers and have found that by replacing a few parts and lots of fitting they can be made into pretty decent guns

    It seems to me then, based on your example, they should then be termed "almost ready to work center" guns. When you put the word Performance in the title, that is what it should be capable of right out of the box.

    Trust me, I'm a S&W fan! But this is the perfect example of exactly what is wrong with American products these days. Many skilled laborers, most of whom are earning a better than decent wage, just don't care if they put out crap products. The product goes out, they get paid, big deal kinda attitude. It's hard to convince folks to give up foreign and buy domestic with examples of high priced shoddy workmanship like this.

    I believe you need to look at management. If the workers have a quota to meet and there is a lack of quality control, the buck would stop with S&W not labor.

    When I practice Steel Challenge stages with my 22 Buckmark, I consistently see my front sight lift. But not so much with my match gun [a revolver] unless I really concentrate on front sight lift. Any suggestions? I do double plug. Should I concentrate more on seeing that front sight lift?
