shooting low

[gunnut1]

I emailed Remington about the gun shooting low and asked them if there was another front available and to confirm that the dovetail was a Novak.
7 days later I get a response back telling me I need to send the gun back for repair.

So since


I am not interested in sending the gun back, I will put a lower front site on it myself.
I am very disappointed in their response.

Now they're just getting stupid...truth is that they probably don't really know what their own dovetail cut is.

Thanks guys. I am confused though. Military hold? Put the muzzle over the target? What, HUH? I learned and teach 12:00 o'clock hold and 6:00 o'clock hold. I have never heard of a mlitary hold. What exactly is a military hold?

Seems to me it would be better just to change the sights.

Gunnut1,
Combat Center hold is to cover the center of the bull with the sight.   Hope the article helps.

I really like the Military/Combat Center hold at longer ranges.

I was shooting at an NRA Official Pistol Target, 21" x 24" with a 5.5" bulls-eye at 50 and 75 feet.  Just cover the bull with the front sight dot, confirm the sight picture with the rear sights, focus back on the front sight, and manipulate the trigger.

I shot my R51 almost as well as my full-sized Browning Hi-Power, which I normally use for target shooting.  My Browning has a much better trigger, but because of the Combat Center hold of the R51, I was focusing harder on my form than I was on the target and achieved good results.

My shots were hitting low when I first started shooting my R51.  But after Blackie explained this Combat Center thing, and I put some effort into it, I found the R51 is plenty accurate - especially for a compact pistol.  It is a shooter.


P.S.  At shorter ranges, when I'm trying center punch a 1.5" bulls-eye, I still prefer the standard target shooting sight picture, but I was able to get some good hits with the R51.
