Question on nightsite installation

Post by Mark G26 »

I had a local gun shop install nightsites on my Glock G26 a few weeks ago. It seems to me I was more accurate before the change.

I think the sites are adjustable - right?
How much should I expect to pay another local shop to site them in as they have a private range for their CHL class I previously took there.

Thank for the help...

The sights may or may not be adjustable and they might take a little getting used to. I would bet they they are fixed.

Are the sights on straight? That may sounds funny, but I had a very reputable Glock Armorer install a set so crooked that it was comical.

I can't stand the large block style "mepro" sights that are commonly found on Glocks....past ten yards I can't hit a barn with them. It took me a really long time to find what I like.

The gun shop should not charge more than ten bucks to adjust your sights. Let someone else that knows how to shoot try them out....at least you will narrow it down to if it is your or the sights.

Out of curiosity.....where are you hitting with the sights at about 7 yards?

7 yards isn't far enough to diagnose sight alignment problems unless the sights are off by a mile.

This was about 10 yards before the new mepor sites-
