Eagle eye,
First things first. Brownie is dead on with his advice. Try leaving both eyes open [you should shoot that way anyway] and see how that works.
(An easy way to see how this works is to make a "thumbs-up" gesture at arm's length. With both eyes open, stand about six to eight feet away from a clock, can, etc and cover the object with your thumb. Now close each eye in turn. The thumb will still cover the object when you use your dominant eye, but will be displaced to one side when you use your non-dominant eye.)
In most defensive situations you are going to use a point shooting technique anyway and the target is going to be large.
Second. if you are going to be the primary user of the Smith, choose the insert that makes the weapon most comfortable in your hand. Don't be too concerned where it prints, initially. Practice will adjust your muscle memory and you will train yourself to point at the target. After all, most handguns are not readily user adjustable. The user adjusts to the weapon, not necessarily the other way around. Practice will also allow you to adjust to a fuzzy sight picture. It just takes time. Have fun.
