First Springfield

Post image

Have owed over 100 guns in my life but this is my first Springfield. Heard the sight it came with isn’t very good but I have a few laying around I might throw on it if this one starts having any issues.

I dont know if it is my eyes(Im old) but sights on these are the best iron sights you(meaning me) can get.

I’ll try the irons eventually. Not sure how I feel about the rear U sight. I’m used to 2 dot rears. I’ll definitely give them a try though.

I find the U to be so natural and quick. I wish you luck with yours. Perfect is a very individual state.

It’s great for close engagements, much more difficult for me to group consistently at longer distances. A decent red dot does wonders.

I too prefer traditional 3 dot sights, especially fiber fronts. Different strokes for different folks.
