Both for jamming and other odd things (like the rear sight getting knocked out of alignment from regular firing).
Second what do you think about laser sights? They're coming out with ones that are easier and easier to integrate into a gun. It would seem to be an advantage as you could focus more on the attacker than on your sight picture.

Throwing in my 2 cents into this discussion. For newbies into the realm of gun ownership, or more specifically pistols. I suggest getting a revolver. Some folks tend to "limp wrist" semi-autos which require an opposite force to the recoil to move the slide back and feed another round into the chamber. A revolver is consistently reliable. True they hold fewer rounds than a magazine of a semi-auto. For someone who wants a conceal carry weapon who doesn't shoot very often, a revolver is the way to go.
