Combat Sights Vs Target Sights With Tactical Hyve - Major Shooting Pros and Cons

[@Scarywoody]

I thought there was some additional functionality with combat sights. The rear sight being a 90 degree angle to allow the slide to rack on a belt or table top.

[@TacticalHyve]

There are. We refer to the shape in the description. This video revolves around the major difference when it comes to shooting.

Trying to find the rear sight in CQB is a good way to get in trouble. Stop worrying about the rear sight! At 15 yards and in, raise up and look for the front sight, Hold the gun so you see the front sight on target while looking down the slide and just over the rear sight. Put the sight a little low, and squeeze the trigger. Your eyes will naturally center that front sight to the center the slide. Try it, it works. In CQB think shotgun... all you need is a bead on target. Same principle applies here.

[@Resident-cb3yz]

At 10 meters you don´t need sights. Just line up the gun. I am not sure if you need sights at 15 meters to hit human size torso. So i prefer target sights on self defense situation so you can hit 25 yards human head size shots. You could need accuracy on close range too. You are not always on desert, highway or on a big street and bad guys can use cover too. Just my opinion. If you are poor shooter then you should get good pistol to make those ranged shots. Sure they cost more but are worth it. Learning to shoot is way easier with a good and good target sights or red dot.

[@paddypibblet846]

Are you guys cops? If so, that explains the 90% miss ratio of all involved shootings "hurr durr who needs sights, just point shoot your pistol sonny, you can hit a man sized target at X yards".

[@Jitter4788]

@@paddypibblet846 People miss in shootings because that is what happens in gun fights. Look at in war how 90 percent of kills were from people that couldn’t even clearly see each other, killing each other with suppressive fire. That time you take to line up your target could cost you your life if you just put more shots down range. Especially considering cops have advantage in numbers, and a single bullet hitting could debilitate and end the threat. These two comments also didn’t say don’t aim and just shoot, especially the first one. They provided ways to hit targets without going grandma speed when you’re extremely close to your target. You’d also know that only aiming using the sights at close range is stupid because the bullet trajectory means your sights are only 100 percent in target at where you zeroed the sights and where they zero again as the bullet drops in its curve. Before it zeros, it hits way lower than your sights tell you, and after it zeros, it will hit higher and eventually hit lower again. This happens as the bullet enters its arch after being shot.

[@b0lobattali0n78]

Used to go with trit night sights, through my training journey I've come to prefer the target sights for defensive use with a blank rear and FO front sight. Great video!

[@Mrdanielmesa]

I’m interested to know what got you to make the switch. I’ve been on trit nights sights, but my latest addition came with target sights and I’m not the biggest fan of them. Are you only training in daylight conditions? Do you have a red dot co-witnessing? Cheers

[@rurouniad]

@@Mrdanielmesa Hey there, Nobody responded. So I hope you are OK if I respond as I have answered the question for me. So this is complex and will likely step on someones toes and irk someones mire. Think of training like a graph chart. As you learn, ideas that sounded good in the past start to not sound as good, and as you get even better might start to sound better again. First off. Unless you are legitimate LEO or a first responder. I want to say that you should have night sights for "twilight" / "less light" conditions. For the rest of us : - With your night sights. Turn your light on your gun on. Do you see the sights as they are intended to be seen or do you see glow in the dark sights? - Now consider target identity of a threat before being in a civilian shoot. Compute your own risk factor on how often you are in twilight conditions. Do you have a red dot sight also? Weigh all of this in appropriately. Unless you are always preparing for the fight and that alone. Sure. Stick to night sights, or blacked out sights with a red dot. As I have been shooting competition on my journey to get good. I have found that the feedback from competition sights is more precise and gives me more confidence to put the bullet into the correct circle at a given distance. If things are down and dirty, then I can still hone in my skill to shoot down and dirty from trying to get good. I shoot competition with multiple Glocks with different sights. In the last 3 matches I found that going from gun to gun (with different sights) the POA POI was not the same under a shot timer. This is less then ideal for a variety of reasons and as a result I am going to be putting the same sight picture on all my guns except for my obvious red dot guns. I have merely reached the point where the same sight picture is going to be a benefit vs "where do I hold my gun for proper POA / POI" while shooting at matches. Aligning the classic 3 dots night sights for me usually results in shooting WAY low or WAY high under the clock and actually slows me down if I want to go fast. I find to get closer to POA POI I need to look at the top of the sights and their alignment which makes the 3 dots even more distracting and "busy". I hope reading that was fun for you. The only way you will likely figure out if you have the same problem is to ignore par time on traditional defense drills and push yourself to go as fast as you can to see if you have that issue. I didn't get it before or have it before, but I get it now. I used to attribute shooting high or low at my occasional competition as "a bad day". Now, its just how my eyes / mind acquires the dots fast and sends the bullet accordingly.

[@svenhassel17]

I have both types of sights, Truglo TFX PRO on a G19 and Dawson precision on a G17 with a 1200 lum Olight flashlight. which is my bed side table gun. When you have to defend yourself quickly, you don't even see the sights, you just point and shoot even with the combat sights and with the precision sights and the flashlight guide, a perfect silhouette is generated that allows you to align the sights; Although as I said, if you have to shoot quickly you will only align the slide with the target and shoot. Great video, thanks!

[@cathyling2015]

I’ve been shooting for 13 years and never thought about this for iron sights at all. Thank you 🙏

[@blackhawk7r221]

Here’s the takeaway: a front night sight will always be visible in all conditions. Target or fiber optics will not. Go try your fiber optic against a field of dirt. Then switch to green woods. Then go in the house well lit. Then turn the lights down. You’ll see. In certain environments red may be easier to acquire than green, or vice versa. Or you may not see them at all. But true night sights are always bright. Buy once cry once. Now go save up for that ACOG.

[@mjgII]

Blackout serreted rear with 2 subdued tritium vials and fiber optic front lit with tritium would be superior to night sights but for some reason isn't on the market aside from truglo TFO's but they're too busy

A company needs to come out with an actual GOOD hybrid fiberoptic / tritium sight. Only truglo & trijicon put out worthwhile models and they both have glaring negatives as well.

[@JJ_SDWR]

For what it's worth, I've had Truglo TFOs on my G19 for about 7 years now, and while they're definitely a little faded compared to ar first, they're still super bright, can seem all three dots if I roll over in the middle of the night and the gun is on the nightstand. No perfect mousetrap but those TFOs have been good to me.

Great video. I have target sights on all of my guns, as im primarily a plinker. I perfer the blacked out rear and use the slide to line up my targer for combat style shooting. One key to good combat shooting is to be able to fire without jerking and having to reaquire your target. Rapid fire drills with snapcaps mixed in help alot with keeping steady on target.

[@limitlessluis]

I have Trijicon HD night sights and their HD XR’s for my CCW firearm. I prefer the original wider front sight of the HD’s because it has phenomenally fast target acquisition compared the the more precise XR with a thinner front post (rear dovetail the same both kits). Everyone wants accuracy but when it matters under stress speed within range is ideal in my opinion. The XR’s take almost a second longer to properly focus between the rear sight (lots of lights on both sides of rear post plus top edge alignment of both front and rear is also more difficult to articulate). Agree with discussion! 😎🇺🇸

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

+1 ... I've seen 👀 & used a few versions since the 1990s. In my view, 2023 1 of the best duty or carry-defense pistol sights is Trijicon HD orange. Easy to see, good in low light, can handle carry/rough use, not affected by gun oils, CLP, solvents. I prefer the HD over HD xr but both versions can aid the user, officer.

Good lesson on the difference of target and combat sights.... thank you...I definitely learned...

[@obsoletevalues6209]

The one-and-only way I shoot is in well-lit ranges at paper bulls-eye targets. I have 7 pistols, all of which have at least a 5" barrel. I recently purchased a new Anaconda. Colt departed from the original white square rear sight, and went with an all black sight instead. It is my only pistol with a black rear sight, and that is going to have to change soon. When I am focusing on the front sight, it means the rear sight is slightly out of focus. Having a white square line on the rear sight really helps with centering both horizontally and lining up vertically.

[@beardly0121]

I still practice with irons on every range trip which current is once per week and I usually fire around 200 rounds of 9mm BUT I do most of my pistol shooting with a Trijicon RMR. However because I've been practicing so much for the last couple years I can make hits at 100 yards on a steel gong with either irons or RMR and I can even do it with a little .22lr Sig Mosquito pistol. It's easier with an RMR but now that I've really put some rounds through my guns and set aside at least one day a week to training I can do it consistently with both irons and the optic.

[@lionel170]

Nice 👍🏽

[@TeensierPython]

Friends and I usually end our range trip with pistol fire at 100-200yd. Shooting the gong. Walking each other in. It’s a blast.

[@randomgamer-st1ie]

I use combat night sights for carry guns because sometimes it's dark out. For home defense, combat blacked out rear and fiber optic green or yellow front with a weapon light. In a dimly lit home, fiber optic will still be visible while luminescent sight rings have disappeared and it's still too bright for tritium to glow. Turn on the weapon light, and the only thing that matters is sight shape, since your sights will be perfect black silhouettes behind all that light. Tritium, luminescent, fiber optic, don't matter with the weapon light on.

Makes sense now, I have shot and handled guns with target sights, and always hated them.. I like the old school 3 dot, sights. I don't like blacked out rear sights at all either. Just bought a gong, first one, says to shoot at least 12 yards/pistol, that's the furthest I've shot since the Indiana hero drill came out, can't remember his name, maybe Dylan something or other. I did that drill a few trips to the range, went back to 3 to 10 yards.

[@victorygarden5773]

Thank you. CZ p10c is a work of art and shoots like butter.

[@GeroLubovnik]

Nice video. Accurate explanations. But it doesn't have to be either/or. First that U-notch rear provides a good visual aid for where "center" is for the front as the notch "converges" making it easier to locate center. I found that the Truglo rear, as shown works great with a narrower front. In addition, what I did was paint a phosfluorescent center dot on the rear do simulate a "figure 8" system so that I'm not using daylight for horizontal alignment, but the dot for that. With that particular rear with a center dot painted one can then use the two horizontally placed dots to get the vertical right. In fact, my replacement front sight improved my vertical point of impact as it was shorter than the Truglo front which allowed me to go to a 6 O'clock hold, not obscuring the target completely. I'm just as fast if not faster with this setup than my red dot. Just sayin'.

However, I discovered that I really don't need sights for a human size target. Heck I don't even need to open my eyes. All I need is to know the general direction of the threat, point and blindly shoot. Try it, you'll be amazed at how well your brain aligns your hands, ears and gun.

That's the problem I got with the Canik Rival, the front sight is really thin compared to the rear sights and at quick shots it's all over.

[@CuarentaZ40]

Lol.. idk if you know this but most if not all full-size (5”+) caniks including the rival are competition guns. That’s like buying a micro 3” pistol and saying “I don’t like that it’s not accurate enough at the range” Well it’s a micro CCW, it’s meant to be even smaller than a subcompact to be easy to conceal and draw. A full size canik is designed to be a competitive accurate target shooter. My TP9 elite doesn’t have that issue. But it’s a compact siE

[@jamesking9280]

This was a fantastic video. I need to think through what I was so sure of in purchasing new sights.

[@ryuhadouken2722]

I prefer battlesights, most combat rifles have battle sights which is the thicker front post bulkier look. Now why? Number 1 reason is Windage advantage. With thin front sights yes your more precise however when it comes to windage your gonna have to now aim off target with this thin fine sights. Comparing the Springfield 1903 front sight to a m1 Garand. The Springfield 1903 was a target rifle brought to the battlefield. Did it do its job? Yes! USMC riflemen in ww1 we’re shooting and hitting Germans at 800 meters. Ww2 kicks off but the engagements are now closer due to environment, tactics, etc… the m1 Garand has a thicker blockier front sight but medium size aperture giving the rifle a quick acquisition in close quarters. When it came to long distance rather adjusting your entire sights by clicking left or right. You would do a hold over. Taking that small part of the thicker front sight on a target and just moving it over slightly does the same as adjusting your sights but without touching them. This the became to be the battle sight zero. At that time the m1 Garand typically was zeroed at 100 yards. If 100 yards was not given then a 50 yard zero will do just as good but not as precise. Now why a 50 yard zero. Well bullets have this thing called ballistics where a bullet shoots out of the barrel and flies in the air. As it’s flying it’s also falling and eventually hitting the ground. What the military found was a 50 yard zero was able to hit dead center at 50, rise up a inch or sometimes half a inch at 100 and back down at 200 close to dead center. Without adjusting your sights at all your sights can hit just about anything from 50-200 yards or meters.

[@stefsteffe2353]

good video, you can use target sights in self defence especially from close range, sometimes you don't even have time to aim With combat sights you can indeed shoot less accurately I would put target sights on all my pistols

[@markellis959]

Great video very well done. I have been shooting for years and you can always learn more!

[@billballbuster7186]

A target sight is usually larger and fully adjustable or adjustable for windage, the idea being to dial the sight in so the gun shoots exactly were you aim it. If its not adjustable then its a fixed "iron" sight. The original iron combat sights were small for pistols usually carried in a holster. But in more recent years sights got larger with added dots for faster target acquisition.

Sights and people vary, but I generally get good precision from combat sights with time and training. I generally prefer the high visibility and fast target acquisition of combat sights to the sometimes difficult to acquire target sights. While I like tritium inserts, I admit their utility is questionable. Often when it’s dark, you need target identification with a light. Variables matter, but a bright light on the pistol, or even muzzle flash, may wash out the glow of the sights, leaving you with basically iron sights anyway. Thank you for the video! 😊

[@lenholt7419]

This popped up in my feed. What would you say to a narrow rear target sight with a larger front? Say a .115 rear with .125 front. It seems it would be more difficult to shoot accurately at all. By the numbers, .115 Rear - .125 Front = -0.01 So any light would be slim to see in the sight picture. Adding to that the -0.01 to be equally placed, -0.005 on each side in the sight picture. I don't know if my eye could see that consistently between shots on a defensive pistol. I think at least .140 or larger for the rear OR, a narrower front of .110 or .100 for the front to only replace either sight.

[@sluggonotnancy6178]

Good video...I didn't know the difference. Thanks. I have a personal question...I bought a Sig Saur P 365 with "XRay" night sights. The problem is, the front sight is extremely dim, and the rear sights are basically non functioning. When sent to Sig Saur, their answer was "It meets Sig Saur specifications", which I guess means "yep, they are attached to the gun". How would you handle this?..buy more sights?....if so, which sights?...aside from never buying another Sig Saur product, that is.

[@onpsxmember]

I don't know how to tell you this, but the chances that they'll give you xray vision are dim. Try to find out exactly what type you got and perhaps there are others in forums like sigtalk that can help you out to decide if they're all like that.
