Sights
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. You can adjust the sights as follows:
Windage (left/right): 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: SIGARMS has available a Sight Adjustment Tool which makes
it easier to adjust and change sights.)
Elevation (up/down): 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. Each rear sight change will move the impact of the bullet
approximately 2" at 25 yards. 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.
