To answer your second question, yes, the open sights are quite reliable.
The thing that is needed, is a tool to "drift' the sight in it,s dovetail. The one best method is to buy a tool from Brownells known as a "sight pusher" ... They sell for about $25 .... Other than that, you can use a brass punch (about 1/4" diameter and a small tap hammer. when using this method, it is a good idea to place reference marks between the dovetail and the barrel ... Thus you can see how far (left or right) you have moved the sight.
Eleveation is much easier ... Simply slide the notched leaf up or down as needed.
I like to set my open sights at around 60 yards, and use "Kentucky windage" as targets vary in range.
