What’s that old saying? A lie, told often enough, becomes truth?
We gun people are often guilty of a related thing. That would be passing along hearsay comments over and over, until they become assumed fact.
Some of the things that I’ve heard a thousand times relate to gun sights. You know, observations like “Big Dot sights are too big to be useful”or “they’re not precise enough!”I got a bug up my butt to put some of these handgun sight misconceptions to the test so I could start to separate truth from hearsay.
Let’s take a look at three of the more-common misconceptions regarding handgun sights.

So I try to read this article about Big Dot sights and it took me to another link that said the exact same thing. But in the end there’s no article. This is a little ridiculous to get people to push to come to your link
Hmm, just worked for me. Rather than assuming it’s some sort of conspiracy, maybe recognize that it was just broken? Thanks for the heads up…
Great article.
Another misconception is that all sights are the same.
Some front sights “cover” a target, while others are intended to “lollipop” and have the point of impact just above the front sight.
“Why” would you want lollipop sights?
So you can always see your intended target point.

And then the article ends on that statement on 2 source links…. 🙁 seriously? Half written article.
