I am looking for a set of night sights for my Glock 19. Anybody have some recommendations? What's an average set cost? Are they easy to install yourself or is it best done by a smith?

If a technique works, is it actually "incorrect?" Maybe it's just a semantic argument...
Agreed!
Since I harp so much on practice, an expert on another forum gets on my case about having to make sure to "practice the correct techniques, not the 'wrong' ones."
I half-way agree with her, in that practicing the "correct techniques" leads one closer to mastery and effective skill application. However, on this forum (where I don't have to argue with her), I will maintain that mere practice, if well-intentioned and practical, is, in and of itself, a good thing regardless of "correct technique" or "wrong" ones.
Practice, per se, can't be bad.

...I think 500 meter shooting with an M4 for the average trooper would be a waste of training time...
I agree. In fact, I think that it's a waste of time for even the good shooters.
The .223 is a close-range, carbine-type weapon. It is not a rifle, in the accepted tactical sense of the word.
Thanks for the information, Mike.

Agreed. I tend to think of the M4 more as a big pistol rather than a rifle.

Regarding the correctness or incorrectness of a particular technique, it is of course highly subjective and varies from school of thought to school of thought. As one example, Chuck Taylor taught me the "correct" Weaver, but now I shoot from Modern Isosceles. But this Mod Iso is not the same as the "correct" Isosceles I learned from Mas Ayoob.

Whatever works to get the hits needed in the time frame allowed is "correct." Some ways may be more efficient than others, but pistolcraft is an evolving art, and we discover newer, more "correct" things as we go.
