you guys over 40 or so know what i mean. well i think i have found a fair to meddling solution. The glasses with the gradient lenses - you know - the ones that go from clear on top to reading on the bottom. Well i had a pair that drove my eyes buggy, put if you look through them just right they work to go quickly between seeing the sights and the target.

I'm soon to be 43 and have been lucky so far....
contacts for 28 years of my life but no readers yet....(yet)

I wear trifocals (lined). With the last eye test and prescription change I told the optician that I wanted to be able to focus on the front sight of a gun held at arms length (one hand). He accomodated me! Works fine so far! Still not 20 year old eyes !

I'm closer to 60 than 40, but I find my progressive lenses to be a real pain in the ass for pistol shooting. They are what I use but I think the better solution (which I do not have) is to have a dominant eye lens which is has a see-thru point perfectly lined up and corrected for the front sight, with the rest of the lens and the non-dominant eye lens corrected for the target distance. I know somebody in the USA makes these, I just can't remember their name and web link.

I'm 56, and recently went with a red dot sight on my 629 Classic 6".

In spite of the extra weight, my offhand groups went from 6 inches to under 3" at 25 yards. I now have a true 60 yard offhand deer slayer for Illinois whitetail season. Off a rest, I'm good out to 100 yards.

I put Fastfires on 2 1911's If you wear reading glasses to see the sights you won't need them anymore.

Sorry can't read the damn posts, eyes are too old, lol. Great info for an old fart like me. Thanks.
