Left handed shooter, right eye dominate.I purchased a glock 26 and had a gunsmith put a fixed rear novac sight on it. I am shooting a little high and about 2 inches to the right. The rear sight has a small set screw in the middle of it, question is can I loosen the set screw and adjust the sight? The stock sights shot the same way. Thanks..

If not you would be able to adjust for windage. You'll need a sight pusher. Theoretically you could use a brass punch and hammer but I wouldn't do it. |

Not every handgun will shoot POA with the sights perfectly centered. If he was shooting center mass before the sight change, and he's shooting tight groups now, just a little off center, he should adjust the sights. |

The TFO's I put on my G34 shoot well left (it's not me, been shooting Glocks for a while now) when centered on the slide. The Trijicons on my USP shoot about 3" high and about 2" to the right when centered. Both shot to dead POA with stock sights. IDK if it is poor machining of the sights or what but it is making me think hard about getting a sight pusher.
By the way, the Novaks on my Combat Elite are utterly un-moveable without a sight pusher, so good luck if you're trying a punch. |

He did the swap as soon as he got the gun and never shot with the factory rear. |
