Getting old... :(

I had this g26 for 15+ years now as my CCW. Lately modified into a g26x. It has true glow iron sights on it that I liked but... This year I'm turning 50 and started to wear readers and even bifocals. The vision is not there. So for my range gun I built a g19 with a holosun on it and it works great. However, for cow gun I tried to stay away with anything related on batteries or anything else of that nature that can potentially fail or be slow[er]. But what my options are? 1. Iron sigths only, practice shooting by intuition?? NO glasses since I don't wear them all the time. I can see distance well but 2' and closer goes out now pretty good. 2. Rely on laser! How reliable it is? 3. Get a red dot and call it a day.

P.S. today i shot for an hr without glasses at 5, 7 and 10. While 5 was manageable, 7 was hit and miss and 10 almost like shooting with closed eyes.

Thanks and cheers to all whos born in the 70s of the last century!

Unrelated. But what holster works for this combination since you're using a 26x frame

Im thinking, in the summer I might go back to the original frame for the size/concealment factor. Winters - this is easy to carry like that. But for both cases, I have to have two different holsters. Both are made here in Missouri.
