Which sights to choose

You want to zero for your ammunition or shoot competition: adjustable sights. You set windage and elevation with screws.
You want to keep your front sight: an adjustable rear sight alone.

How to zero adjustable sights

Shoot a group at a fixed distance. Move the rear sight in the direction you want the point of impact to move: to the right to move hits to the right, up to move hits up. Turn the screw a few clicks at a time and shoot again.

Sight picture

Fiber optic collects daylight and shines brightly at the range and in competition. Blank sights have a plain grooved surface without any marks. Tritium glows in the dark without charging. Luminescent dots charge in light and glow for a while in the dark. White dots give contrast without glowing.

Installation

Most pistol sights sit in a dovetail. You drift the old sight out and the new one in with a sight pusher or a punch. See Installation tools.
