I'll assume you're shooting standard 230 grain ball? Lighter rounds (165, 185) will usually shoot lower than 230, but I wouldn't expect them to impact 5" low!
The cheapest first step you can try is replacing the barrel bushing with a standard Colt (whatever), bushing. It may be that the bushing is out of spec. Maybe just borrow one from a friend and try it.
If that doesn't work you'll just have to replace the front sight with a lower one. That can be a pain in the rear if you do it yourself because you'll have to figure out the dovetail size, etc.
