Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns u notch versus square notch rear sights?

Don't know about the sights mentioned in the OP, but I find those on the Springfield XDME which are similar to be very easy to work with. They're quick for me to acquire sufficiently for good defensive hits - quicker than straight post and notch. But plain post and notch are better for fine accuracy (or were back when I could actually focus on them).

I have both. Might make a difference in bullseye type shooting. I haven’t noticed any difference in combat style shooting.

Picked up a prodigy a lil while back. First U notch sights I have used. The more I use it, the more I like that style of sight. I think the biggest thing though, is just how wide of a notch it is. I did not expect to like them as much as I do.

I shot and competed in IDPA for years using WOL square notch rears and FO front. The last few carry pistols I’ve set up using all black U notch rear and Ameriglo front. Seems like I can pick that combo much better.

That’s my preference for a combat pistol also. I think of it as being to combat pistol sights what express sights are to dangerous game rifles. Simple and designed to help guide the eye to quickly “throw on target.”
