Shadow front Sight height for ipsc minor?

[xopher]

I am looking to purchase a new thin front sight for my shadow. The one on my pistol broke off a few weeks back. Can someone tell me which sight height to go with for 124 gr ipsc minor loads? The previous sight (5.5mm) was hitting consistently low (2-3cm) at 10m.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

What is the sight radius?

My suggestion is to shoot 147gr bullets which hit a little higher than 124gr. That way you can get the same front sight height again. 147gr shoot with lower felt recoil and are generally more accurate. If you don't want to go that route you'll have to find a lower front sight or get an adjustable rear sight and a higher front sight to compensate.

There is a new HAJO (height adjustable only) sight available for the Shadow. It is designed to work with a 7mm front site. Not sure if this would help you or not.

This web sight has a calculator to show what height your new sight should be. Sounds like you need one slightly shorter than the previous one. Just plug in the numbers.

Brain fart. Thought you were shooting high. Please disregard.

Where do you hold on the target?
