Something I learned at FrontSight this month was two-fold. I took their 4 day defensive handgun course and one thing they STRESSED was

_HARD_ focus on the front sight.

The other thing I learned was to see the sights and to do that I brought the gun in CLOSE to fire the shot. So close that I rested my left upper arm on my rib cage with the left hand gripping the front of my right hand. This put the gun (1911) close to my eye and made it easy to put the front sight between the blades of the rear sight. I still had about 3 inches clearance when the slide came back so I was in no danger of hitting my glasses with it.

As a newbie pistol shooter, I was scoring with the best of the group (hitting most of those 3x5 cards mentioned - the kill zone when taking a head shot), some of whom were pretty darn good and I earned one of the 6 distinguished awards that were given out in the class of 25 shooters.
