Is it right to use "catch sight of" here? Which can be used?

"This shop is so small that we didn't catch sight of it."

Thanks.

Idiom: catch sight of someone or something (catch a glimpse of someone or something)
    To see them only for a brief moment.

    Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".
