Thanks Jerry. Is the straight eight a little faster at target acquisition than the three dot? Watched a few videos on it and what the guy was saying made sense.

@ Voodoo. Do the ameriglos come in the two dot? I probably should have clarified that it wasn't so much about the WT sights but a comparison between the 2 dot and 3 dot target acquisition speed.

Hard for me to speak of speed, I wear a "Medium Speed, Some Drag" T-shirt

Having said that, when we all get together at GriffonSec's in the spring and fall, we have a dueling tree. From holster to "on target" does seem a little slower for me with the straight eight (at first), but that isn't really a fair comparison. I shoot mostly 1911's and the only straight eight I have is on a Glock. The Glock grip angle throws me at first, and takes awhile to get in sync with it. Once I'm in the groove (more like a ditch) they are pretty comparable. I think a Glock "person" might be quicker with the eights, but that opinion is based on the fact that mine has a larger front dot and is really easy to pick up. As someone famous (don't remember who) once said, "Front sight, Front sight, Front sight!" and that dot is nice.

Funny, but this subject has been on the back-burner of my brain (dimly lit, low flame)

, and I've wondered about the 2 dot system off and on for quite a while. I'm like Jerry a bit, have the front sight on my mind, but trying to align 3 dots takes precious time, especially with "mature" eyeballs, and therefore the curiosity of the two dot system.

Check the pro-i dot's. I reviewed them a while ago. I really like them for what they are and they are pretty good overall.

This may, or may not help ...

Awesome. Thanks for the input guys! Before two weeks ago I had never even heard of the 2 dots/straight eight design. Its weird how some things just never cross your radar...

"Before" ............. Sending to JagerWerks in the morning. Hopefully I will be posting "After" pix in about a month. I just wish BattleCock had not closed his books. This would be a great time to get some stippling while the slide is away.

This 22 followed me home after cigars and bourbon the other night. Friend of mine has been fussing for a while he couldn't sell it. At less than half the price of blue label, with a Storm Lake conversion barrel and extra mags, I kinda felt obligated to prove him wrong. First full size Glock I've ever owned. SL barrel is available cheap if anyone wants/needs it. I see some changes in it's future...
