class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clay checking out the quick-sight sighting system.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The enhanced F pistol has some cool new options, including RMR cuts and a new quick-sight sighting system. \u00a0Basically, the quick-sight system moves the rear sights, typically located on the end of the slide, and moves them up on the slide in front of the ejection port. \u00a0This gives you about a 1-inch sight radius, which in theory should be very fast to acquire.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to have to test that one for myself, but that should be easy to do given my proximity to the HQ (If it wasn&#8217;t obvious, I live in the Gem state, too). The F series retains the low bore axis that has made it popular and easy to shoot as well as the solid ergonomic\u00a0base that makes it nice to handle.<\/p>\n<p>What else do they have in store for 2017?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69018\" style=\"width: 632px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
