Correct sight alignment?
There are 3 main components which go into making a great shot – Grip, Trigger Pull and Sight Alignment. Obtaining all 3 correctly at the same time is perhaps as illusive as a rap song that doesn’t make small children cry. (Hey, everyone is allowed to hate at least one thing in this world and I had to choose between Spiders and Rap music. Unlike rap, death from spiders is usually quick and relatively painless.)

In this article we set our ‘sights’ on ‘sight alignment’. “You can’t hit what you can’t see” is true enough, but when dealing with pistols the path to accuracy may leave both your brain AND target blurry. What’s all this about the front sight? Where exactly do I aim with my sights? Why does my front sight look the size of 3 city blocks when aiming at 25 yards? Why do I always loose one sock from each pair? These questions and more will be answered below.
Terminology:
Sights – The Sights are the posts, notches, beads or points on the firearm which are used to visually align the barrel with the target. There is a vast array of low and high tech sights available for firearms and the list continues to grow daily. The term ‘Iron Sights’ is used to describe the most common system with a fixed front sight and fixed or adjustable rear sight, which are made of metal blades or posts. The majority of Iron Sights for pistols will be ‘open sights’ which will have no enclosures or holes to look through.
Front Sight – The front sight (most typically a post) is usually very close to the end of the barrel and is located on the top of the slide or on the barrel itself (Fig 1). Undeniably focus on and attention to the front sight will have the greatest effect on accuracy of the whole shooting process. This fact is so important that there is even an entire shooting school known as ‘Front Sight’, so do not underestimate the importance of this to your shooting success.
