I have sold more guns with sights than plain top. Having said that, I really feel that the reality of the issue is sights are nice if one is shooting at the range. The groups are smaller and we all believe thats great! However in a up close and personal encounter we just pull it out and pull the trigger until it quits making noise. Just look at all the Seecamps sold with out sights. Mine is with out sights just like the Seecamps. Also do you find the Speer Gold Dot ammo hard to find and what is the going rate? I might be able to find some new 20rd.,boxed in both 115 gr and 124 gr. by the case. Tom
