As the title indicates, I just took my new SIG 226 out to the range and am now facing this, POI sights vs. 6 o'clock (I think thats right where the sights align on a plane just under where you want to hit?)
I'm sure this has been beaten to death over and over, and I'm not really looking for a whats better than the other, because I take both types for their strengths on what gun they are mounted on, but more how to. Combat sights, they are meant to line up where you want to hit, unlike 6 O'clock sights, I got that part. And I was taught that you shoot a hole, then target that hole with 4 more shots to make a 5 shot grouping at a certain distance. How exactly do you go about targeting a hole when it is covered by your sights? I mean I hit head and neck center( +- 2"), and within 9 and 10 rings all day long, and I would usually hit right around where I was pointing at, great for self defense, but I can't say that all of my groupings were impressive in and of themselves.
Thank you all,
