While IDPA is mostly a close-range game, you still have to shoot with some precision. A wide front sight fills the rear notch, and obscures the target area, which makes quick and accurate shooting more difficult. Someone must like dots and squares, since almost all guns today seem to be equipped with them! You'll also find that a wide front sight is wider than what you're trying to hit - the center of the down-zero zone - and that can't help!
