Hello THR,

I recently purchased a Sig P226 Elite. I have one 226 already, on 239 and have shot 220's lots. All have been fantastic.

I am having trouble with the sights on this Elite.

First bit of bad news was halfway through a match, I noticed that I could move the rear sight back and forth with my fingers... Uh-oh.

I tightened them down and after the next stage, they were loose again. Dag-gun.

I was talking to a gunsmith and he said that even though the sights are adjustable, you shouldn't be able to move them with you fingers.

So I put some lock tite on them and the gun consistently shoots left. I adjusted the sights and I am less left, but still left. I am all out of adjustment.

Has anyone had this trouble before?

I also am looking for suggestions on a fixed sight setup (night sights, please) to replace these silly adjustable sights.

Thanks!
