9.3 Elevation (Up/Down)
Adjustment
There are different height combinations available
for the front and rear sights. The sights are
numbered according to their height. You can
change elevation by changing either the rear or
front sight. It’s easier if you change the rear sight
first.
There are six rear sight heights available. Each rear
sight change will move the impact of the bullet
approximately 2” at 25 yards.
There are five front sight heights available. Each front sight change will move the
impact of the bullet approximately 1” at 25 yards.
When changing sights, remember this rule: NUMBERS UP, GROUPS UP; NUMBERS
DOWN, GROUPS DOWN. This is true for both front & rear sights.
WARNING – SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Sight corrections should ONLY be
performed on an unloaded firearm.
Manipulating the sights on a loaded
firearm could result in unintentional
discharge, causing injury or death.
Visually and physically confirm the
pistol is unloaded before making sight
adjustments.
DO NOT ADJUST THE SIGHTS
ON A LOADED FIREARM
