John's
all depends on your shooting discipline and your preferences.
For bullseye shooting, a flat front and a plain rear are best, those guys align the top of the front sight with the bottom of the black circle. So black (the sights) on white (the bottom part of the target) gives the best possible sight image.
That is exactly like my NRA shooting small bore rifle was 50+ years ago! Some techniques don’t change. Not that attempts have not been made; those who steped aside came back for a reason.
If you are talking about self defense, and you want white dots, most people adjust their pistols so when the front dot is on the target and the three dots are aligned, the bullet goes where the front dot was.
At a known distance…yes. And the distance for self defense is usually at a conversional distance.
One more thing, cutting the slide with a file, to install the Novak Low Mounts, is an exercise in futility. Find someone with a lathe, or send your slide to a gunsmith. What will be a 1/2 hour job for them people, will take you ... months, with doubtful results
On that I also agree.
John, we are on the same page.
