Purchased my first handgun this Weekend

I've got a hi-viz green fiber front on my S&W 22A-1. I'll never buy another .22 without one. Easy to focus on an it jumps right out at you as soon as you get your sight picture.

red dots are very fun and something you may want later but if this is your first pistol than I presume your a beginner. If this is true than I would recommend learning the basics of pistol marksmanship with iron sights before moving on to more advanced sighting systems.

What he said. Master iron sights before worrying about dots or lasers or using the force.

Congrats on your first handgun! If you got it at CP you can be sure it's a good one. (I think Bob even warranties them for 30 days.) I've bought a few there without any problem.

I have the same problem with the sights disappearing into a black bull's eye. So ... I get targets with contrasting color like red or white Enjoy and be safe!

Congrats, I just purchased my first gun to this weekend, opted for a Glock 19, shot 300 rounds and still need a lot of practice!!
