My EDC for the past couple of years has been an HK P2000v1 in .357 SIG with XS Big Dots. Although I've been wearing it for a long time I'm ashamed to admit I rarely shoot it, preferring my USPs or 1911s.
Yesterday I took a class through MDFI entitled "You Suck It's Not The Gun." The class focuses on sight alignment and trigger control. MDFI encourages shooters to train with what they carry shop I so I left my range guns behind.
While I may very well suck, it was quite clear that in this instance my gun did too. The maximum range you train for in this class is 10 yards and my 10 yard groups were HORRIBLE. Normally students find that mastering the sights is easy and the real issue shooters face is trigger control. For me my trigger control was near perfect. The bottom line is the sights are extremely difficult to hold a consistent sight picture with. When the instructor saw my sights he shook his head and commented that I was going to learn a tough lesson and he was right. My friend saw the issues I was having and offered to let me user his backup VP9 but I refused, sticking with the "train with what you use" theme.
At the end of the class we did a fun shoot, targeting a 10" steel plate to see who could hit it at the farthest distance. I've been shooting handguns since I was 8 and I was the only one who couldn't ring steel at 25 yards. Absolutely humiliating.
Placing an order for Meprolights today and switching to my PSP until they astride and are installed. I intend to repeat the class next year using the same gun but better sights. Can't say enough good things about the class if MDFI teaches a class near you I highly encourage signing up.
