Every book I've ever read, by instructors like Massad Ayoob, Chuck Taylor

yourself to drop the target out of focus, and bring the gun's sights into
focus.


Total bunk! Nonsense!! Most home intrusions occur at night, and under
minimal light conditions. Same can be said of most assaults. Advising
the focusing of ones attention on sights at night and under stressful
adrenaline pumped minimal light conditions is insane...AND it ain't
going to happen.


Total bunk? Three police/military instructors with combined experience of
over 75 years are teaching total bunk? You should try the aforementioned
total bunk, if you ever actually get a handgun and go to a range where you
can simulate low light situations. How do you suppose you're supposed to
line up your sights if they're blurred out?



Pistols set up for hunting virtually never include laser sights.


Just not true, Doug. Laser grips are not a substitute for iron sights,
they are an alternative for low light conditions for hunting pistols.
Many hunters employ laser grips on their handguns...more all the time.
They *are* an improvement over iron sights in poor light conditions.


No. First of all, most handgun hunters who add ANY accessory to a big
revolver will first add tritium night sights, and then a scope. Low light
isn't that big an issue, since you're not supposed to be hunting after dark
anyway, unless you're some redneck moron who also doesn't know whose
property he's hunting on, and is ignorant of the regulations.
