New Mepro's! high and towards the right

[rifmon]

So I also got the Bushing installed. Happy with consistent groups but as stated in the title of this topic, all shots were slightly towards the right and high.

I shoot at 6 O'Clock. I place the sights at the bottom of the red center.

Based on these targets, should I get a sight pusher to correct the windage? What can I do with the elevation though?

frustrated on trying to attach pics. I've tried Photo Bucket as well as JPG files with no luck. It may be that 3 hrs sleep was not enough! I'll try later and also will look for a Sticky on this how-to-attach photos later today,

Would really need to know how far off both the windage and elevation are. Thing is you can correct windage by drifting the sight for that correction but elevation if it's off badly will require a different height rear sight. Typically you can get the Mepros with higher or lower rear sights to compensate for elevation.

Yes, the pictures will make this clear as to how far off the groups are. I hope t have some success posting a picture later. I'll research the How to later. Thanks.
btw, my stock sights also printed slightly high and to the right but not as much. I was hoping these new Meprosights would improve upon it.

You cant "post" pictures. You can only link to them. I use Imgur as it's free and super easy to link.

Thanks.  I?ve been trying to use photo bucket and at least to me it?s not user friendly.  But it might be user error.

Got it!  Here's is the picture showing how my 75B prints after my Meprolights and 10X Barrel Bushing were installed. Decent groups but high to the right. I will add that the groups are a little better than prior to the 10X Bushing and I'm very happy about that. But my 75B always shot a little high and towards the right but the Mepro sights make the POI a slight bit more towards that POI. Again, I place my sights at the bottom of the red center; 6 o'clock hold.

You can drift the rear sight to adjust windage but you will need a shorter rear sight to bring elevation down. I would shoot the gun from a good rest before I made any further sight changes though just to verify they are off.

Thanks.  Since my front meprolight went dead, I?m sending in my slide.  Do you thing Cajun can switch out my rear for a lower rear Mepro?  I can get to the range to rest it prior but I?m pretty sure it?s thecway this gun shoots since the factory sights caused the poi high also.

Yes CGW will change them for you. Just let them know what you want.

Thanks. Cajun confirmed they would change the rear sight for me. I waited till I had a chance to get to the range to rest the gun on a sand bag. I did that yesterday at my outdoor range.

I rested it at 15 yrs (first pic) and the second picture is handheld standing at 15 yrds.

I first shot standing at 15 yards (did not keep that target) and the results were the same as the previous shots reflected on my first targets posted above. I then rested the gun on my Bulls Bag (First picture below). I decided to place my hands on the bag vs the dust cover on a higher bag and hands on a lower bag. I'm not a pistol rest shooter so I really do not have a lot of experience resting a handgun. My hands, resting on the bag, felt very stable. I shot 9 rnds at 15 yards from the rest. When I saw the results from the those shots, I concluded that I need a lower rear sight. But then I decided to shoot another 10 rnds standing. This time at a different type of target; a 50 foot slow fire target with a smaller red bullseye. The results were pretty good this time. Still a little high considering I held the sights at the 6 o'clock hold.

Here are the targets. What do you think? Do I need a lower front sight? Scott at Cajun told me that a lower rear sight is available for the Mepro's but that I was the only one to thought the POI was high with these sights. So I'm starting to think it's how I am holding my gun or that I am slightly anticipating recoil. (user error)

Sorry....Not sure why the pics from Imgur are so large.

Here are direct links to Photobucket which are normal sized once it's clicked.

Man that's not really bad shooting at all. I think I would spend some more time with the gun before I changed anything. Back when I started shooting handguns my rear sights were all drifted to the right because I thought they were off. After I spent some time shooting and learning better hold and trigger control I found I was moving all those sights back to the center.

[rifmon]

Thanks for the reply! That confirms the consensus of others at the range yesterday; keep the rear sight the same vs getting the next lower rear sight. Also, not to drift it.

I will finally be able to send my slide back to simply replace the burnt-out front Metro that went dark suddenly. My son liked the new Meprolight sight picture more than the factory sights.
