Fixed sights rarely work with all ammo. You need a taller front sight post or a lower rear notch.
Before replacing any sights try a wider variety of ammo. 230 grain FMJ is old school known for it's reliability and very little else. I like 185 and 200 grain bullets in .45acp. |

Well 230g was also the cheapest 45 at Aim. I will try some 185 or 200 and see what happens. I think I have heard before that the heavier ammo in a 1911 shoots higher most of the time? Doesn't make sense to me. |

Call Springfield. They will take care of you. I received an shipping label today to return mine for warranty because of this issue.

Well I got an email stating my pistol is en route back to me. I will post what they did when I get it back. Not a bad turn around time though!

I shot a couple Springfield Armory RO this last weekend and both shot a little high, probably will try the different ammo route before considering anything else.

Golly Gee!
I bought a Springfield Loaded this afternoon, and got home just in time to fire a couple of shots. Yes, it shot high. No big deal. I need to to give it a good shakedown, and then decide what to do. I like the night sights. While it shot high, it grouped nicely. (Yes, I know a 2 shot group is worthless). I think it is a winner. But it does need more testing. |
