The Big Dot is nice for poor vision.
One challenge with Big Dot I encountered at the inside shooting range.
The lighting put a glare on the center of the sight where the tritium is located. I found I was lining up the center glare with the back sight and it made me shoot low.
When I discovered what I was doing I aligned the bottom of the front sight with the rear sight and it shot dead on.
The Big Dot is great up to about 12 yard shots. Beyond 12 yards the Big Dot will cover most of the 50 ft rated target. However, I learned something reading the instruction manual. At 25 yards the point of impact is the top of the big dot which means you don't have the issue of the big front sight covering the target if the point of impact is the top of the Front sight.
For defense shots (i.e., 7 - 10 yards) the Big Dot works good.
If your Shield is a target gun stick with notch and post sights. If you want quick defense shots with 2 - 3 inch groups XS serves well.
