I recently acquired and have been shooting a Wilson CQB Elite 9mm, with 5" barrel, and gold dot front sight and a combat rear sight that consists of a wide notch and no dots or other markings.
The problem i have is that I am getting the proper sight picture. The gold bead, I am told, is for rapid shooting where only the front sight is acquired and for groups, I should hold the sights so the top of the front sight is level with top of rear sight. Unfortunately for me, I am drawn to the gold bead and tend to draw it down into the notch, which causes the front sight to be too low, and the gun shoots low of course as a result. It takes a lot of concentration for me to not do this.
I think the problem stems from shooting Glocks a lot, where the front dot is drawn into the rear notch. The gold bead is different and when drawn into the notch, the front sight is actually too low.
So here is my question…
Should I just learn to shoot the gun as is? I don't really like this idea because I don't like having to remember how certain guns shoot.
Should I replace the front sight with a shorter sight, which would the make the gun shoot higher?
Or should I replace both the front and rear sights with the three dot style I am more familiar with and don't have problems shooting?
