I know there are those who don't care for the straight 8 sights. I'm curious how people like the front blade having daylight around it as seen through the rear notch. Taurus seems to tout it as a wonderful idea, but the extra space just distracts me.

I love straight 8's personally and now they have them from Trijicon for the Mil Pro and 24/7's. The brain naturally aligns objects vertically rather than horizontally.

The more I shoot with them (the straight 8s) the more I like them.

Ditto.

The more I use them, the easier it gets.

I am disappointed because the thread title was misleading.... was expecting to see butts and things


Anyway, I like the straight 8.

I'm disappointed because so far not a single soul has answered the question I actually asked.

To be sure I'll ask again. How do people like the extra daylight around the blade as seen through the rear notch. I prefer a blade that fills the notch, regardless of whether two dots make a figure 8.

The amount of "daylight" is not a dramatic difference compared to a basic 3-dot sight. So, in my opinion it does not affect me negatively. If it's uncomfortable to you, simply change the sights.

It is a little different. I've only been to the range once with my new 24/7 pro. It seems towards the end it was a little better.

Jim, Everyone of my 3 - dot sight guns has a small amount of daylight between the two sights. Just keep shooting, you'll get use to them. I just wish they were night sights.

 

[shaggydog]

I never noticed it until you brought it up.

 

[JimL]

Jim, ... Just keep shooting, you'll get use to them.

Thanks, I hope so. So far I've shot better cowboy style (intuitively from about heart level) than using the sights. At least that shows the gun is natural my hand - which is why I got it.

Just think. If you folks change out the present sights for different ones then one has come to the Heinie End. : ;D

Remember, being funnier or wittier than the moderators is considered a mortal sin here.LOL ;D

The Sit Down Comic strikes again!!! Sitting down makes own a smaller target than standup or standoffish comedy.
