The front sight focus deal is something I talk about in depth a the beginning of my classes and we expound on it a great deal during the course it makes sense once you look at it. It takes time to truly focus on 1 out of 3 things to the point were one is truly sharp and clear and the others are blurry. We don't have that kind of time shot to shot target to target and the reality is most shooters get target focused and don't see enough of the gun. To shoot a pistol accurately and repeatably you have to see all 3 things; rear sight, front sight, target. When you are shooting they are in that order. Try this some time, put the pistol on target and look through the rear sight to the front sight to the target and let your eyes see all 3. Don't try to focus on any one of the 3 just see them all and see this about them, the relationship of the front and rear sight and that relationship on the target, AKA sight alignment and sight focus. Every shooter I have worked with once they allow themselves to, can see all three. I call it a soft focus or easy focus, regardless of what we call it just see them. Something I do find that really helps is contrast between he rear and front sight. I prefer a black rear and a red fiber optic front for everything. ( if you carry a pistol for a living or defense I believe you have a responsibility to have a hand held or weapon mounted light to see what you are shooting at in the dark, if you have a light in your hand or on the gun you can see the sights) Well I can talk about shooting for days but I don't type that well so I'm out. It'll be time to head to the range soon. I'm working out some stuff for my new sights as we speak! Take care and best wishes with your shooting.
