Some points are not true. Target sights and accuracy don't equate to the size of the front sight. Common belief is that a smaller front sight will get you more "precision". Not so. Sights are the interface between the gun and shooter. If you can't focus on the front sight because it is too small there is no "precision" gained. I know of many who shot with GI width front sights that cleaned the 300 yard and well with the 600 yard target. At those distances the GI front sight covered the entire bull 2x over. How a shooter held the gun and let the shot go is what contributes to accuracy of the platform.
Target sights track precisely like Phoenix sights and when HP shooters shot with irons. They rode on rails or pins.

He has a "classical Google trained education"
All of my pistols have combat or USPSA/IPSC competition sights. That is if I replaced the stock ones. I found that as long as the front sight is bright, I like plain rear sight. Your vision and natural tendency is to center and level things. That's why I don't like the U-notch rear. A good exercise for "acceptable wobble zone" is to put the front sight at the extremes of the opening in the rear sight. Left, right, up, down. Then see what the hits are like at various distances. I think most of my iron sights are all within a 6" circle to at least 5-7 yards, maybe more (I haven't done that in a while).

Well, as for covering the sight, we were trained to shoot a 6 O'clock hold. But i remember our disbelief when we backed up to the 500 yard line, seeing the tiny dots of the targets, then setting the fuzzy dot on top of the front sight. But it works, got 10 bulls my first try at it.
