Dhom,

I recently (last year) went to dots on my FA, both gold bead and FO. I found that either dot in the notch was tough for accuracy. Now my gun uses a s&W rear sight and I switched it out to an express type rear, which is a shallow v. I shoot this setup more accurately than dot in notch. You can sort of shoot the blade sides of the dot/FO but for me it is slow and painful. Neither seem to be better than a red dot or scope, for me.
