Keith,

Bad news, it doesn't get any better as you get older. I'm 63 and you can trust me on this

For some good news keep reading ;-)

I found I couldn't shoot a 1911 anymore because I couldn't see the rear sight. So I started looking for alternatives. On my pistols a dot sight works great. Not so good for a DGR :-(

A peep sight doesn't require your eye to focus on it, you just center the front bead in the fuzzy ring thats close to your eye. While it's not a good as a scope, for close (100 yard) range it's pretty darn close.

I (somehow) convinced Butch (Searcy) to modify and install a Talley peep sight on the 500NE I bought from him. It works very well and (at least for me) is MUCH quicker than an express rear sight.

Hope this reply helps.

Roi
