rear sight. move.

[vujade]

hi guys.

I want to move a rear sight off to the right (trying to move a group to the right). I've drifted a rear sight before but this one has this thing on the top. I've heard some may have a screw but this doesn't have a 'head'... what is that?

can i just continue to hit at it and move it? (I think it's moved a bit but it is tough in there)

I'm pretty sure it's the sights. My other handguns shoot at POI. I just got this off a trade and it's consistently shooting about 2 inches to the left (and low) at 12 yards.

The gun is a PX4 sub compact.

Thanks!

That "thing" is an allen set screw. You will have to loosen it before you can drift the sight.

Yea, do yourself a favor and get a large, rich set of hex wrenches and keep them in your gun bag. They are heavily used in firearms and accessories like scope mounts, and are very aggravating to deal with if you do not have a set.

There is a good chance that sight screw will be tough to loosen. Kroil may help, or anti-locktite compound (whatever the stuff is called). They tend to be in there good so they do not loosen up from recoil.... and need to be put back in well when done.
