Do you modify your carry weapon

[Mick-Boy]

Sights really???? When my recruits can't help but jerk the trigger I take the sights off the gun, mix in some dummie rounds and film them. Sights on a carry gun are near worthelss. If you need sights on your carry gun, you will need cover worse.

You're out of your damn mind.

You have to be able to account for the rounds you fired. A good set of sights should be an immediate upgrade to something like a glock.

Before we start throwing stones, I've gone through a couple of shooting investigations with .gov agencies that tend to look into things when you kill folks. The ability to articulate what the threat was and what I saw when I chose to engage the threat was pretty freaking useful... to put it mildly.

"I placed the front sight (dot, reticle, etc) on center mass of the target and processed the threat until it was no longer viable."

Is a whole lot better than

"I think I was shooting at the threat but I was too busy running for cover to be sure. I never saw any reference to ensure the rounds I fired were impacting the intended target."

Sighted fire scores hits. Spray and pray (even in CENTCOM AOs but especially CONUS) is just asking for additional scrutiny. This has been well established.
