6 O'clock – With the 6 O'clock hold the front sight is placed at the bottom of the aiming black. For many shooters, this hold allows precision placement of the front.
In your situation, you are shooting bullseye with intentions of using the gun to stop a bad guy. Bad idea. I know you're having a hard time getting used to the sights but I recommend more practice until you can understand that when you carry this defensive gun you need to aim combat style. Carry your Glock until you have proficiency with it, so you don't get killed or shoot a bystander. I disagree that you have to shoot combat COM, you may in fact need to take a headshot and you'll need combat sights and confidence to use them. I don't carry anything I'm not tactically accurate with. So I shoot 10 meters, COM and Cranial Vault - CNP. Bullseye sights are designed for the range. I have a pistol with bullseye sightsand it's a target pistol. I have no difficulties transitioning between them. My military training was all combat lollipop sighting. It may help to shoot an AR with milspec iron sight posts to program yourself, the aperture makes it easy to learn top post lollipop style shooting.

The current sights are set for a 'Center Hold', while I think some people are used to '6 o'clock Hold'. This videoshows this example on the SKS, but through gameplay I can attest that it applies to the AK's and pistols as well. Naturally, sights tuned for 50 meters would require you to aim higher at close range, but the video also shows that this is not a zeroing issue, since even at range the bullets still land in the middle of the post rather than at the tip.
So to accurately hit something, you need to basically cover up your target with your sights. This is fine in most other games like Insurgency where you're mostly spraying down people at the body, but in Tarkov where scoring headshots is key, this can prove problematic. You can't see your target accurately if they're behind the front post of your sights.
So I'd like to ask /u/trainfender if enabling '6 o’clock hold' as an option is possible. I understand that having to change this for every weapon would be quite a bit of work, so I'm wondering if this is even possible.
