Off topic question here. I am farsighted so it’s difficult for me to sight my weapon in. I wear readers, but then I cannot see five feet past the gun. If this affects you, how do you compensate?

Great question, I struggle with the same. Thankfully I can use 1.0x readers to sight and can see a target within 30 yards.

At almost 60 years old, I struggle with the same thing. For range shooting, I wear +1.25 reading glasses so that I can get a hard focus on the FRONT sight, and the target is out of focus.

For self defense, I have a Viridian Laser on my Ruger LCP, and a Crimson Trace Laser on my S&W J Frame.

The advantage of the laser is that your focus is on the target, not the sights, and works with your regular street glasses.
