• Move the blade and holder up to shoot higher.
• Move the blade and holder down to shoot lower.
For finer elevation adjustments the sight blade itself can
be moved up or down. This is done by loosening the two
screws that secure the blade to the blade holder and then
moving the blade up or down as desired (Figure 17).
The screws are then retightened.
R IGHT OR LEFT WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS —
On most Model 9422 and Model 9417 sights, the entire
rear sight blade holder is dove-tailed in the rear sight
base. To adjust for windage, gently move the rear sight
blade to the right or left by tapping at the dove-tail using
a wood or fiber dowel or hammer that will not mar the
sight (Figure 18). If you tap to the right your gun will
shoot more to the right. Moving the blade holder to the
left is just as easily done. Note how much you adjust the
sight as you sight-in your Model 9422 or Model 9417.
Remember:
• Move the rear sight to the right to shoot farther to
the right on the target.
• Move the rear sight to the left to shoot farther to
the left on the target.
Loosen the two small screws.
Make small adjustments up or down
then retighten.
