Most people don't shoot well enough to know why this matters but when you are shooting bulls at 25 or 50 yards it does.The new "Ultimate Carry" J Frame Lipsey's is putting out for Smith and Wesson has gone back to this with sights made for a specific modern load/round offering.As you can imagine a 110 grain .357 magnum round and a much heavier wadcutter in .38 Special out of the same gun would not hit in the same place at a given distance.Again if you took 99% of people out at 5 yards and had them shoot a 1" paster they would miss either because of poor shooting skills but just as likely they literally don't know where their sights are regulated. Will the round hit behind the front sight in line with the dot or on top of the sight like a lillipop? Some guns even changed at distance. For example Gen 3 Glocks had an issue with shooting high at 25 yards because of how much and how early the barrel would tilt up so it was not uncommon to use a 6 o'clock hold at that distance to hit center. The Gen 5's seem to be better and more mechanically accurate overall.</blockquote>
