SIG sights

[10x]

Shot a friends 2022 9mm and it shot way low. Thought that was an anomaly. Then I shot a 229 and it did the same.
Then I learned that SIG sets their sight picture so you have to blot out the spot you wish to hit. To hit the center of the bullseye, you have to hold above it.

Almost all other manufacturers have a pumpkin on a post/ lollipop sight picture.
I hated blotting out the target point. I like to hold at the bottom of the bullseye to hit center bull. That is about 6" difference from the current setup.

Now I find higher rear and front sights are very hard to find and expensive. Time to file the front sight to see if I can get at least 4" from that. (Difference between a SIG #6 currently and a SIG #10 unlocatable at a reasonable price). The current sights are dead anyway, so, I am not worried about the white dot. I will just use bright paint or my wife's nail polish on the front sight.

Anyone else have a similar experience with SIG sights?

Sig sights can be found fairly cheap here... https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/sig-sauer/auto-pistols-sig/sp2022

Numrich has standard height sights, yes. I looked at their listings this morning and did not find higher front or rear sights. Looking for Sig size 9 or 10.

Most manufacturers use the “center hold” type sight picture these days. Been quite a few years since I’ve shot anything that still uses the “six o’clock” hold.

Maybe i have too many old guns. No cannot be. I do know i amtoo too old to change now and i want all of my guns to hold basically the same.

I understand. I know Sig offers sights in different heights. I think they designate them with some sort of numbers. Either find a shorter front sight or a taller rear sight. If you look closely you might be able to see the small number somewhere on the sight.

Correct. Currently 6 front, 8 rear. Each number higher raises the point of impact. 1" for each number for the front, 2" for each number for the rear. 10 being the highest made for both.
Just cannot find 10s or even 9s at a reasonable price.
