I took my CQB out to the range for the first time today, and shot 100 rounds. No malfunctions (of course) and I was amazed by the trigger. Anyway, the gun is shooting down and to the right for me, with open sights. I am only going to use this for close range shooting, and I don't intend to put optics on it.

Anyway, I see that the front sight is a bit left of centre, by a few mm, and I was thinking of pushing it. Is it normal for the front sight to be a bit off centre (my HK P7s, for example, often have slightly off centre sight). If so, should there be enough range in the rear sight to get the gun zeroed? I could move the front sight, but it looks like the screw holding the sight in place is pinned with a roll pin. I definitely don't want to start popping out roll pins if I don't have to.

Should I just leave the front sight alone?

Thanks!
 
Read your manual. Mine is sighted in for 25meters. At 100meters it hits about 3-4 inches high. 200meters seems to hit dead on.

LOL... I didn't realize the front tritium dot flipped up and down. I was trying to sight it in with the tritium dot up and using the aperture rear sites. I think the groupings might be a little tighter next time :redface:

I share your pain...did exactly the same thing...WTF!...then I figured it out!:redface:
 
When using the tritium sights,

If you sight your gun in without the tritium and then flip up the post, use the rear tritium!

Line up all of the dots. When you do this the weapon will be exactly the same point of aim as when using the standard sights. The problem comes when users flip up the front post and then not use the rear dots, or they use the top of the flip-up post. Then it will hit high or different.

Trust the dots and use them and it will hit in exactly the same spot.
