Re: Merkel open sights

My personal experience is that a peep rear with a linear non-bead front sight is the most accurate open sight for a rifle, but express sights are the fastest to get on target and shoot.

When some animal over a ton is charging, wishing to rip me to pieces, I will sacrifice some accuracy over speed any day.

When I try to shoot a handgun at speed sometimes I cannot see the front sight if my grip is wrong(yes,I know with practice this shouldn't occur but occasionally it does)--the off line front sight cannot be seen in the rear sights notch!!I find my fastest handgun shooting with an XS express set up--i.e., somewhat like sights on an express rifle.Fast yes, but not nearly as accurate for old eyes.

Maybe I have not understood and missed the point entirely but I think the difference is like apples and oranges, their different!
