Tasks that were once simple for us in our younger years become more difficult as we age. Our eyes are not exempt from these changes, and the optics on our guns should probably change as our eyes change. Finding the best pistol sights for old eyes is a journey, and there is no one right answer for every person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s talk about how our eyes change as we grow old. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoa.org\/healthy-eyes\/eye-health-for-life\/adult-vision-41-to-60-years-of-age?sso=y\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the American Optometric Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the muscles that focus our eyes grow weaker as we grow older. This weakening of the muscles makes it harder for us to focus on objects closer to the eyes. Losing this focusing ability for near vision, called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/presbyopia\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20363328\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">presbyopia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, occurs because the lens inside the eye becomes less flexible, and it happens to almost everyone as they grow older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weakening of our eye muscles can affect our vision in different ways. Our eyes will probably need more light as we grow older. It can also become increasingly hard to distinguish low contrast objects. The biggest issue most people face as their eyes grow older, though, is seeing objects that are close to us. This is just one of the reasons why finding the best pistol sights for old eyes becomes increasingly important as we age. Let\u2019s take a look at how these problems affect our accuracy with a pistol.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty in low light situations\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_3373\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3373\" class=\"wp-image-3373 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"Night Sights\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-1536x1093.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-610x434.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-400x284.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-1080x769.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights-627x446.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/big_dot_sights.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sights with a clear difference between front sight and rear sight work well for older eyes.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing the black riser of a pistol front sight and correctly aligning it in the notch of the rear sight is hard enough when we\u2019re young. As we grow old, that front sight becomes less visible, especially in low light situations. High contrast sights, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trijicon.com\/products\/subcategory\/trijicon-hd\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trijicon XD sights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ameriglo.com\/collections\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amerigo tritium sights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help bring the front sight into clearer focus and give you a better sight picture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night sights are another option for older eyes, especially ones that have a slightly larger front sight dot than rear sight dots. Low light means poorer vision, especially as you\u2019re growing older, and the bright glow of a tritium dot on your sight can help you acquire the sight picture you need to make the shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three Dot Sights Are Probably Not The Best Pistol Sights For Old Eyes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common sighting system that is probably not the best pistol sights for old eyes are three dot sights. These sights have one dot (usually white) on the front sight, and two more of equal size and color on each side of the rear sight. Lining all three up in a row gives you proper sight alignment, or so the theory goes. However, focusing on the front sight is a key part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/aiming-a-pistol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a good sight picture at longer ranges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3372\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3372\" class=\"wp-image-3372 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-300x261.jpg\" alt=\"three dot sights\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-1024x891.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-768x668.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-1536x1336.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-610x531.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-1080x940.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights-627x545.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/three_dot_sights.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Three dots sights can make your eyes &#8220;bounce&#8221; between front sight and rear sight.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a dot on the front sight that is the same size, shape and color as the dots on the rear sight tends to confuse our eyes. The three dots look the same, so we have to force our eyes to concentrate on the middle dot, the one on the front sight. This concentration takes time, and time is something that\u2019s in short supply when your life is one the line. In my case, I replace the three dot sights on my guns whenever possible for fiber optic sights or something similar which provide more contrast between the front sight and rear sight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other solutions\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A weapon-mounted light can be a useful addition to a defensive firearm, especially if you\u2019re having trouble seeing in low light. A light on your gun is not a flashlight for everyday use.It is there to augment the performance of your gun, and that&#8217;s all. Make sure you have a second flashlight besides the one mounted on your gun to use if you\u2019ve lost your keys, and save the one on your gun for lighting up bad guys.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Best Pistol Sight For Old Eyes Just Might Be\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One solution that solves many of these problems all at once is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/getting-started-with-red-pistol-dot-sights\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a red dot sight mounted on top of your gun<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A red dot optic solves several of the problems we encounter as our eyes grow older. They\u2019re easy to see in low light or at night. They snap into focus right away as you\u2019re looking at your target. Many models of red dot adjust their brightness automatically to the surrounding light conditions. This makes the aiming dot stand out in all kinds of light, solving the problem of distinguishing your point of aim in low-contrast lighting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3371\" style=\"width: 243px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3371\" class=\"wp-image-3371 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-233x300.jpg\" alt=\"red dot sights for older eyes\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-768x988.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-1194x1536.jpg 1194w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-610x785.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-1080x1389.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-400x516.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1-627x806.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/red_dot_sight-1.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A red dot sight solves many problems associated with older eyes.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are downsides to red dots, though. First off, they\u2019re expensive. A red dot sight plus the cost of milling the slide to mount an optic can approach the cost of a pistol by itself. This can be mitigated by buying a pistol such as the MOS Glock models which come pre-milled for an optic. This cost savings, though, doesn\u2019t negate the cost of the optic itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, red dot pistol sights require batteries, and those can fade out at inopportune moments. Battery life can be extended with new technologies like solar panels on the sight and \u201cshake awake\u201d on switches, which activate the sight only when it\u2019s in use. Even still, I make it a habit to change the batteries on all my sights every year, no matter how often I use them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose A Sight That Works For You<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, a red dot sight is an electronic device. There has been great strides made these past few years in making heavy use electronics such as pistol sights more reliable. However, even the most solid of systems can break, so having backup sights that can be used if something goes wrong with your dot is probably a good idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is a red dot optic the very best pistol sight for old eyes? I have a number of friends who are getting up in years, and they rely on red dot sights for their defensive firearms. Based on their advice, I also switched over to a red dot this year, and I\u2019m pleased with the results so far. I no longer have to perfectly position my glasses in order to see the sights of my gun. The dot is right there in my field of view as I complete my draw, allowing me to be slightly faster when engaging targets up close, and more accurate with shooting at longer ranges. A red dot may not be right for you, but if you\u2019re struggling to find the front sight as your eyes grow older, it is definitely worth your time to see if it\u2019s the solution you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding The Best Pistol Sights For Old Eyes\u00a0 It\u2019s a cruel, cruel fact of life that our bodies change as we grow older.
