Yes a shorter front sight is ordered.
Knock on wood I'll have this today or tomorrow and will have some range time on Thursday.

I'm happy with .130 front sight height. I installed a fiber optic from Dawson Precision. A few strokes with the file and it fit perfect. Strokes on the new sight of course.

The 2 flyers low and left was me getting settled. Then aimed for red dot at 9 then finally at center. 9 yards.

Red lock tight applied. I ran another 50ish rounds today. Again like before -- no FTF, FTE or FTRB.

I'm happy.

After multiple attempts to attach a photo I give up. Sorry folks.

It is Dawson SKU: 020-434-00.

$39 shipped. You will need a needle file to take a few strokes on the new sight with. Ships with a small punch that has been cut for addressing the sight. I used a sight pusher. Took about 10 minutes. I spent more time with a dial indicator to get it lined up.
