1. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Sight Picture Correct sight picture is on the left, the front sight is in sharp focus. On the right, you see the rear sight is in sharp focus. This is incorrect. Focus on the front sight.

2. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Front and Rear Sights Here you see the front and rear sights in correct alignment. The front sight blade is centered in the notch of the rear sight. The top of the front sight aligns with the top of the rear.

3. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. The Target This is the target we’ll use as an example. There are numerous targets available. The object area we want to hit is the center of the white triangle. As you can see – this target has been properly shot with three shots.

4. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Correct Sight Alignment Place the front sight over the top of the object you wish to hit. Note in this frame the sight alignment is correct and the bullet hole you see in the white triangle area is exactly in the center of the front sight.

5. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Front To Rear Sight Alignment In this example, notice that the distance between the front sight blade and rear sight notch is equal on both sides of the front sight. The front sight is centered in the rear sight notch.

6. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Top Alignment – Front and Rear Positioned on the target where you want to hit it, the top of the front and rear sights are aligned horizontally.

7. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Vertical Alignment Positioned on the target where you want to hit it, the front sight is centered vertically on the target.

8. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Horizontal &Vertical Alignment Note here the sights are in horizontal and vertical alignment with the target and the center of the front sight covers the point of impact. This is the correct sight alignment for any modern combat handgun.

9. Copyright Personal Concealment Solutions, Inc. Summary Proper sight alignment depends on the shooting discipline the handgun was designed for. Target shooters use the “bubble” as seen in the NRA posters. Combat or personal protection firearms shoot “Point Of Aim = Point Of Impact”.
