I know there some who can achieve amazing accuracy without the use of sights. I also know some very well trained and skilled defensive handgun shooters who always use the front sight to verify alignment unless at hand to hand distance. Even on my second generation LCP, I use a brightly colored front sight to verify alignment. My answer is emphatically yes! Sights are necessary on a defensive handgun.

Someone told me that his home defense setup includes a pair of electronic earmuffs (not just for hearing protection, but so he can better hear whether anyone is approaching) and a head lamp, so his hands are free, the light shines where he looks and he never has to illuminate anything with his gun.
Certainly not fashionable, but it did seem to be tactically well thought-out
