Gentlemen found this short article quite interesting on front sights for your handgun and what is out there and what is deemed useful in various situations. As always guys lend in with your comments.

That is good information, however in a home defense situation which probably will not be over 10 yds I will rely on point your finger and they're hit. It is the method I practice and can score 10 hits on an 10" log reasonably fast. In that circumstance as with bird hunting sights are no more than a distraction to me.

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

I was trying to apply the information to field use. In any home situation, I'm likely to be firing at the hostile blobs, since I don't wear my glasses to bed ! Point and pull ! Seriously, I've been working on point shooting more of late-along with left handed !
