Re: Eye Protection
I have a P238 with a 2.7", M&P 3.5" and M&P with 4.25" barrels. This puts the front sight in different places, thus the reason I took all of my side arms to get a "happy medium". Turned out it was my distance RX that worked the best!

Re: Eye Protection
I have a fabulous Eye Dr. who let me bring all of my side arms in for a fitting for safety glasses. Mine are Wiley X that I tried on in the office and I then went to RX safety . com and got the RX filled. This option was over $200 cheaper for the frame and lenses than getting them at the office. I am very pleased with them! I got a "driving transitions lens" and have used them in a dark low light class and in the brightest sunlight as well as on indoor ranges. I would suggest you get an RX specifically for shooting especially if you have bifocals!
Today was the first "issue" I have ever had. We were in an Carbine class and my AR has a reflex sight on it. The sight has a polarizing filter and looking through it with my polarized lenses looked more like looking at the "eye of Sauron" and I could not see the target. Removed the polarizer on the sight and all was great (this is why we go to class and practice!)
Would definitely recommend either a pair of safety glasses that fits over your current RX (quick and easy solution and what I did until I got my Rx Safety glasses) or a pair of RX safety glasses that are ANSI rated. You only have two eyes, and they are hard to do without!
