The white Morgan Freeman
All the pistols I've owned except my Buckmark have had 3-dot sights. I've noticed that I have a great deal of difficulty focusing on the top of the front sight, but my shooting has until recently been too poorly developed for this to be an issue. I tend to focus immediately on the front sight dot, and then have to transition to the top edge, yet it is somewhat difficult to consistently keep my focus there, as I my eyes want to look at the dot. Do the rest of you have this problem? It seems like a majority of competitive shooters' guns I see tend to have a solid black rear sight face and a fiber rod in the front, if not just a black front. I'm sick and tired of the 3-dot thing, except for my tritium night sights, which I'm only a little disgusted with.
If anyone has a fiber rod front sight, do you tend to focus on the rod, or can you easily focus on the top edge? I was also thinking it maybe advantageous to have a fine, shallow groove in the top of the sight, or even a transition in color from the base of the front sight to the top, like gray up to about .020" from the top, and all .020" of the top solid black, to demarcate the top edge very clearly.
