But they can be effective, and if they work for you, that's all that really matters. And judging by the targets, they work very well for you. Nice work!

For me, I've found that I like the square post/square notch sight, but I like a good amount of daylight. Plain black rear sights, with a tritium and/or orange front sight works well for me. I've thought about having the front sight on my 642 reprofiled to more of a Patridge/modified ramp profile to cut the glare of the full ramp and thinned down so I can get more daylight in the notch.
For precise work, the BIG DOT is just too BIG. I believe the Tritium vial is the same size in both, so it don’t matter in the dark.

It takes tons of dry firing to develop good double action trigger skills. My 45th wedding anniversary is coming up and I’m surprised, what with all those years of annoying click-click-click-click-click (well, you get the picture).
