"Competition" can cover a wide area...IDPA? IPSC / USPSA? Bullseye? Pins? What?
Generally, for defensive type shooiting you need only to have fixed sights regulated to your standard load for competition. I used the 230gr. FMJ ball with a couple of mine and never had a problem I could blame on the sights. For a more serious competition iron sighted pistol, "sunken" BoMars or such are nice if you will be changing loads, but most guys get them set and leave them alone...thus spending lots of money they did not need to spend. If you may go from a 185gr. light loaded SWC to a full load 230gr, JHP or in between, the adjustables are nice...otherwise I see no utility in them. |

IPSC, Sorry, So when I have them installed I just tell the gunsmith what load I will be using?

Just use fixed sights. As long as you shoot the same or similar load you won't have any problems. And you won't cut yourself, or break the sights.

Unless you're doing a good bit of no-light stages, a fiber optic front is a good idea. My competition guns are also my carry guns so I have not had one installed, but I have shot guns that have them. The front sight just jumps into view. Its awesome. If I had one that wasn't a carry gun, I'd have one on in a heartbeat.
