It’s really fascinating. Sights on our 1911s were amazingly small. But at long range, they were precise. From horseback, they were shooting point method at enemies that were practically in personal combat with them.
People forget, in those days, they were putting theory into practice and put a LOT of thought into things.
If you ever find one with those skimpy sights, give it a try at long range.
It’ll astonish you.
Yes, makes sense but never would have occurred to me.
