A coupla small things, DML....

First, most police agencies have shotgun training right at the bottom of their priorities list. The thinking runs something like," Well, they hardly ever need to use a shotgun and it's hard to miss with one anyways". The exceptions are few and far between.Or course,when something horrible happens, they can blame the prob on the lack of funds in the training budget, not incompetent supervision with a callous disregard for the safety of the officers and public.

Second,police and HD shotgun use occurs under different conditions and most importantly, ranges.
Police use could be at rifle range, HD almost always occurs where it can be measured in feet, sometimes inches.

Third, people very greatly in what sights they can use effectively. My guess is that the folks who prefer the rifle type open sights tend to be younger than I, or the other folks who use and depend on peep sights or beads.Eyes change,seldom for the better, as we age....
