Besides being old, my eyes are bad to begin with. -5.5 on nearsight, +2.75 far sight, 090 axis for astig. Wear progressive lenses, and things aren't as bright as they used to be. I know they say to sight on front or back, sighting on front means I don't have target in focus, too far away, then spend too much time trying to get the right part of the lens in front of the proper sight, glasses slip between shots. Etc. Etc.
So I have been thinking about laser or possibly even red dot for S&W MP. Someone mentioned to paint rear sights white, front sight orange, or something to try to call out the difference.
Just wanted to hear from others if they have found if something more technical than irons has helped in sighting. Laser would be simple, others have talked about red dots on pistols, but not sure how secure they are, how they fit, can you use them in a holster. Any thoughts appreciated.
