9.0 Sights
9.1 General Information
The SIG SAUER pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights which have
proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear sight and
a front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target acquisition
even when visibility is poor.
WARNING – SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Sight corrections should only be performed by someone with the necessary
knowledge – the pistol could become damaged.
9.2 Windage (Left/Right) Adjustment
Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left or right in its dovetail.
When you do this, follow the rear sight rule: Move the rear sight in the direction
you want the group to go. Moving the rear sight 0.020” in the dovetail changes the
point of impact by approximately 3” at 25 yards.
Note: SIG SAUER has a Sight
Adjustment Tool available that
makes it easier to adjust and
change sights.
