Okay, here's a serious question for some of you to help me with...
BP Colt replicas (and possibly 1st gens) shoot high, that's a given. The question is on how to fix this, raise the front sight or lower the rear.
Both my 2nd Dragoon and '51 Conf. Navy shoot high, real high. Some of this might be the fault of the person holding the gun I fear, but I don't really think I'm THAT bad. I do get 4" to 6" groups, but my target is always too low on the stand, if you know what I mean.
At 25 yards I'm hitting a foot +/- above my aim point. What's the best way to mitigate this issue?? I'm not a gunsmith and paranoid about messing up one of my guns so anything done will be done by an expert when I get back to Wyoming in a month or so.
Is it feasible to lower the "V" in a case hardened hammer?? Are there suppliers who sell higher front sights or do you need to fabricate something to replace the original??
Thanks,
Joe
