I bought a stainless OA last year, older gun (mid 70's) but never been fired, still in the box. I had played around with it a little since but, today I spent the afternoon with it to get her lined in.
W/ 35 grains of 3F she is grouping great, but was shooting high. I turned down the elevation screw on the back sight until it will not turn anymore. It brought the groups down but, not enough. It is still grouping 3" high at 25 yrds. To get POA I must use 1/3 front post and "frame" the target with the back sight. This is not the sight picture I want. Short of filing down the front sight, something that I do not think I should have to do on a "modern" handgun, what else can be done here? Open to any suggestions.
