| I had a question about the P229 DAK accuracy. I own one and I have noticed at 25 yards it shoots about 4-5 inches below where I line up my sights. I also it is 2-3 inches lower at 15 yards and at 7 yards it is about 1/2-1 inch lower. I shoot .40 155 grain hollow points. I have bench rested it the gun. I know it is not my trigger finger because I have had four other people shoot it and they say the same thing. I have the #8 rear sight with the #6 front sight. Any ideas on why this is happening. Any help would be great because this is just very irritating situation. THANKS |

Call or email SigArms and tell them just what you said in your post. They will probably send you a different front sight (they might send a rear but not likely) You need a lower front or a higher rear. Your lighter riounds will also strike lower on target if the gun was sighted for 180gr ammo...and it probably was. (Less barrel "dwell time" under recoil thus they exit sooner and impact lower.) so you might first try some 180s and see where they hit for you. Be careful when you install the new sight not to break it, (You did not say but I assume here you have standard and not 'night' sights) Yes, an inch or less one way or another is GTG for me, but more than that is aggravating. |
