I had a set of Big Dots once, never again. The front sight post is too large and obscures too much of the target. Beyond 15 yards, it's damn near impossible to keep a tight group with them. Trijicon HDs are my preferred pistol sights now.

Same experience as MWPX, only Ameriglo Spartans are my preferred choice.

Not my problem

 

Besides, it doesn't change what my choice is. The Trij HDs are almost identical anyway.

 

And... They do make them for a G19

I know, but they make them for what, like two brands? Glocks and I think XDS's or something?

Very limited for most folks.

I have a Ruger P94 - .40 with 2 slides.  1 slide has the big dot sights.  I wanted to try them compared to standard sights and to eliminate all the other variences - like different gun, different grip, different trigger - etc....   

I tried different drills to test the difference, using paper plates as targets and firing a few rounds at one plate then transitioning to different plates. 

IMHO 10yards and less the big dot's allow me to transition fom one target to another a little quicker, I can also get the follow-up shots on target a little quicker.  Fractions of a second as time goes.  My hits were all on the plate but all over the plate. 

Standard sights 10 yards and less I had more hits in the middle area of the plates, but I was slower with follow-up shots and transitions. 

When I moved to 15+yards The results changed, The big dots missed the target so I spent more time aligning the sights and attaining a perfect pictire before pressing the trigger.  The standard sights had very little change in time. 

Disclaimer: I don't have a ton of trigger time with the big dot sights so perhaps more trigger time would change the results. 

I think the big dot's do what they are supposed to do - get you on target faster.  If I gave myself a shot of Epi during the test I could then simulate the adreneline dump one experiences in a fight or flight situation - but I'm not that dedicated to the test. 

I'm in Cape May County - if your nearby you are welcome to join me at the range to try the sights for yourself.

forgive my spelling mistakes - I'm tired.

I have a set on my 19. I'm in Gloucester county if you wanna try them out.
