I've not found that to be the case with my 1911R1's. I'm curious, has Remington ever confirmed the "Combat Hold" for the sights, or did shooters just come up with it as a way to explain the low POI for the R51. I keep seeing people post that information in forums, but I've never seen a reference to an official comment from the manufacturer.Howard
It's not a problem. They're not shooting low. The sights are set to "Combat Hold" or sometimes called "Military Center Hold."Peace favor your sword,Kirk

You shoot it with the top of the front site at 6 o clock of the intended target. If I used a combat hold on it, it would be overshooting the target. No other pistol I own uses a "combat hold". I think Todd is right here. The R51 is the odd one out.
Update:Installed the night sights; really no change in POI. Have from the beginning used the "center" or "combat" hold and still too low (7-10 yards). Mostly shooting 115 grain bullets not +P. Expect to try 147 grain again and see if any difference now that I am more comfortable with the gun.
