  • Handgun sight replacement

    I replaced the stock sights on my G30 with Meprolight Tru-Dot night sights, centered them up and went to the range. Shoots high and left (using a "cover the target" hold) at 7 yards. The windage I can zero with a sight adjustment, it's the elevation that bothers me. It appears that I now need to use a 6 o'clock hold instead of covering the target with the front dot. I actually prefer the pumpkin on a fence post set up on my rifle irons but I just spent the past several months learning to shoot handguns and every single one that I own (except for the Glock apparently) use a "cover the target" sight picture. I'm almost thinking about putting the stock sights back on.......grrrrr.

      Yeah but at $75-150 per set for quality sights it could get expensive. Unless you are referring to getting a different height front sight from Meprolight? No such option I'm afraid.

      I'll give 'em a little more range time, only got about 50 rounds on these and it's possible that I may have been a bit sloppy with my fundamentals.

        Speaking of sighting in though, I finally got to run the Marlin 336 I acquired a couple months ago (1948 first year production gun). Only took a few rounds to get her sighted in at 50 yards and then....woot! What a blast it is shooting the cowboy gun, I always wanted a lever gun and now that I have one I can say that I am in love.

          Yea I was referring to a different height front site. . Do they make different height rear sites?

          My only experience with the cowboy guns was a Red Ryder BB gun which was awesome.

                  Actually, I would need a shorter front sight to get back my "hold over" sight picture. ;-)

                          Did you try different types of ammo?

                            Nope, just the same stuff I have shot through it since day one.

                              I misread your post. I thought the Glock was shooting high. Regardless there isn't much you can do without swapping out the front or back sights.
