Very true! A couple days ago I've practiced it at the range and stuffCase of practice ammo and range time will be the best mod you can do right now. Until you have shot the gun some, everything you do can slow down learning curve. While aftermarket sights are nice, you may actually like the factory one after using them. If you are going to carry this weapon, shoot it like you will be carrying it. I have a Sig P290 I carry and mainly practice with the 6 round mag since that is what is in the gun when carried. The 8 round extended mag feels better; but it is used as a backup and not carry mag.
