You are really getting a broad spectrum of great answers!

Personal preference has a lot to do with it and I am betting you might find an answer for yourself that combines some of the recommendations here with others. It would be ideal if you could shoot a variety and thereby make up your mind as to what you like best.

For some additional ideas, check out what is used by competitive pistol shooters. If you want to know what works, look at what the good ones are using. The variety might astound you!

For sheer numbers, I guess the notch sights win the "speed shooting" game as some form of them is used in more speed shooting events than all other iron sights combined. And as for Dangerous Game, ask a Cop about a Drug Bust...

But there are many variations, with lines, dots, squares, etc added to enhance the sight picture. Competitive pistol demands both speed and accuracy and given the eye relief demands there are always new sights coming out to attempt to grant that edge over others. And a variety of combinations result.

One example is Rob Leatham who recommends Heinie pistol sights {basically, a wide notch + square post}. But the great old Ed McGivern, the Grandaddy of Modern Pistol Shooting used beads on his revolvers and performed incredible feats with them. Nobody I know of uses a setup exactly like Ed McGivern any more, but you can find pretty much everything in between the two extremes out there.

I suppose past use and comfort level have a lot to do with sighting. I carry a pistol and shoot one more or less daily and possibly that has flavored my preferences in rifle sights, too. Others might have grown up with something else and have a preference there. The options are endless and there is no "one answer" for all.

Good thing you are an accomplished gametracker!

This might be a long trail!!
