I say it is possible to focus on both front sight AND target. My right eye sees the front sight, the rear sight is out of focus. However, my left eye sees the target. In fact I can see the perforations on an IPSC target at seven yards and the front sight. It works with deliberate slow fire, and from the holster in .75 sec.

It is possible,with training, to actually see both at the same time. Force your strong eye to see the front sight. Force your weak eye to see the target.

Muscle memory does not apply to just shooting, but also seeing. You can't shoot faster than you can see.
