Mid 40's here and struggling with "old man" vision so have been testing a few different types of sights. Wasn't getting great groups with my Gen4 G23 last year and put it away. Attributed it to the Ameriglo ICE rear sight with the HUGE .180 rear and fat dot front.
Moving on I just got a new set of 10-8's, .140 notch and .100 fiber optic front! Woo hoo, was looking forward to actually getting a little more precision out of this setup. Meticulously installed and centered with parallel bars and calipers, front and rear centered within (.003). Off to the range today and shoot 25yrds off my bag. Not looking for bullseye groups but just to get centered and hopefully keeping them in the black. What I found was I was just about 5" to the left. I moved them about .030 to the right and am still about 1.5" left of center. It's starting to look wonky, at least from the top. I've always needed a small adjustment off of center (long time Glock shooter) but I think it's going to end up being about .040-.050, it seems like an awful lot. I'm almost thinking about cocking the front to the opposite direction intentionally to see if I can get the rear a little closer to center?
Great sight picture and the thinner front sight is definitely an improvement.
