As posted in "Range Reports" forum, I took my new SS 1911 Loaded to an indoor range the other day.
Range session went rather well, however I did find that I had difficulty seeing the front sight, esp after extended shooting time. In fact, after I was done shooting...I couldn't see out of my left eye for a half hour, made driving difficult.
My right(dominant) eye began to fatigue after a while, I think, and the front sight began blurring along with everything else when I was aiming.
Now the lighting isn't so great at this indoor range, so that might be a part of it, but when I shot with a 9mm XD with three dot sights, it seemed much easier.
I really wish now, that I had gotten it with Novak sights. Too late for that I guess. Anyway, could anyone suggest a good front sight replacement that I can see? Or should I just do like we did in the Marine Corps and paint the front sight with White-Out?
