I paid ten bucks to rent and then another twenty-four for ammo today (50 rounds). I had an American Classic 1911 pistol with "Novak" sight's on them.
At first, I thought I was shooting to high as I could see the rounds creating large puffs of dust and dirt well high of the target, and the back-stop is a good 40 yards from where I put my target. Then I finally I hit on my 23rd round. It was low of the target, but I had a hole to go from. Puzzled I tried again, and finally I saw a round skip off the concrete (dust scattered) and realized I was actually bouncing rounds low.
So instead of lining up the front and rear sight, I lined up the rear sight with the bottom of the front sight. The rest of my rounds all hit center at ten yards, and acceptably on target at fifteen and twenty.
Thing is, I've always lined up the front and rear sight's evenly on a 1911 pistol. I've only shot a G.I. spec 1911 before this one. Am I wrong in that the sights are supposed to be aligned or are Novak's just crap?
