[QUOTE="HJB, post: 3448417, member: 45695"] OK, went out to the range with my Glock 44 with the sights slightly modified with white horizontal stripes painted across the top of the rear sight, and more importantly across the top of the front sight. It was almost impossible for me to see the top of the front sight to line it up with the top of rear, and the top of the dot on the front sight is well below the top of the front sight. I found I was actually aligning by putting the top of the ball at the top of the rear sight which was resulting in about a 2 inch high POI above POA at 15 yards, even after lowering the rear sight to its lowest position. After clearly marking the top of front sight, and aligning my site picture correctly, my shots actually were now coming in an inch or so below POA. So, now I'm going to again adjust the rear sight up one notch which should bring POI closer to POA when sighting at the center mass hold position. I'm going to have to get back to the range and do some resting shots to get a final adjustment, but clearly a part of the problem at least was my poor eyesight not being able to pick up the top of front sight and align it properly.
