My wife also has a background in LE. She was a University Police Officer @ Texas A&M for 3 years. She's had some good training over the years. She's no beginner and she definitely wanted the Glock as her carry gun. She shot the 442 fairly well. The sights on the 442 we had was a groove in the top strap and a small blade for a front sight. It was obvious precision shooting was not a priority when S&W designed the sights for that revolver.
