Warren , sevigny competition sights. A wide rear and narrow fiber front is the way to go for most.

Quickest response is the freestyle course of fire. In USPSA the guidelines are, there is the fault lines and the targets, SOLVE THE PROBLEM. In IDPA there is normally an order in which you must engage the targets and a required # of rounds to each target before you re engage some of the same targets. Trying to discuss what is better for tactics is a mute point. The 2 disciplines are both challenging and fun and both will teach recreational shooters how to handle their firearms in a quick and safe manner, and get you more comfortable shooting on a clock and under pressure. Just go shoot, be safe and have fun

Well this Is a loaded question and there may be several correct answers. Best case is your sights are off or you are not aligning your sights correctly, easy fix. Lets say its not the gun, and you have a correct grip on your correctly sized firearm. The 2 major reasons shot go low is #1 jerking or slapping the trigger when you see that perfect sight picture. Or #2 your mind is telling you to pull down on the gun when you shoot to try to control the recoil. (#1) trigger control is arguably one of the hardest fundamentals to master. Keeping constant connection with your trigger providing the gun is still pointed down range in a safe direction will help. Also learning to smoothly pull the trigger straight to the rear without disturbing sight alignment or sight picture is the key. (#2) this is the most common, and the one I deal with the most. Lets first state a fact. Your brain is not ever going to be totally cool with an explosion happening in your hand. That said we have to utilize proper fundamentals to absorb the most amount of recoil possible. Firearms recoil and rise and you can’t control or stop recoil. You can however use a proper grip and fire lesser calibers to get more comfortable with this fact. Unfortunately most shooters just shoot bullets and never dry fire or practice the fundamentals without the explosion. It is because of this that all you are teaching your brain is pull down when I pull the trigger. I recommend 3 times the dryfire to the live. This will help your mind balance the thought that every time I pull the trigger this thing is going to recoil. Remember the best shots are the ones that surprise you. Hold the gun properly and let the bullet go, it is designed to shoot where you point it not where you pull it.

Yes full bullets can ricochet and can still travel a long way. Just spend some time on the work party at desert sportsmans collecting trash behind the bays on range 4. Out there u will find full bullets that have found home there. None of them hit a steel plate and most did not come close to the back berms. Most of the time it’s a bullet that hit the ground at a shallow angle and rode the berm out. This is why there is a strict minimum target height at the ranges. Others can strike rocks and who know where there fragments may go. But there has been extensive testing done and after a bullet hits something the velocity is greatly reduced and if is unlikely any major injuries will occure. But keep those safety glasses on at all times.

The Springfield XD seems to be very similar to the Glock but there are some major differences. When you pull the trigger on a Glock, you are in fact, cocking the striker about halfway. When you pull the trigger on the XD, you aren't cocking the striker at all. Because of that, the ATF considers this pistol to be a single action pistol. When the XD first came out, Springfield called it a single action striker fired pistol. Because this pistol is considered a single action, it cannot be used for Stock Service Pistol Division. It can only be used in Enhanced Service Pistol Division. Glocks are classed with double action pistols because of the fact that the trigger pull finishes cocking the striker.
