Sights, not scopes and optics
Let’s look at reality. When you purchase an expensive hunting handgun or a target pistol you expect to be able to convince the pistol to hit where it is aimed.

Just a few of the benefits include easy sight in, simple to mount, included low-mount option, and, best of all, SIG quality.
