I don't disagree with this, but I believe that choice of grips and height of sights have a LOT to do with how quickly the sights align, if they ever do.
One of the reasons I like my Improved Model 56 (2" Model 15) is that between the higher sights and the Rogers grips, a quickly drawn gun rapidly results in a sights-aligned gun. This is not true of my Model 10 and Model 12 revolvers, nor, IIRC, of my 4" Combat Masterpiece with Magnas and a Tyler.
Obviously, different individuals might have different optimum grips and sights.
