Adjustable sights are more fragile (some) and more prone to sharp edges and snagging.

Try them before you dismiss them. I have won more than one shoot off using a fixed sight Smith even when going against full on competition pistols.

I agree completely. I've carried a few revolvers over the decades, and all of them were fixed sighted. No problems hitting my targets.

This was the last one I carried a lot before switching to Glocks, a Model 13. I can shoot the heck out of it.
