Para Comp shooting low w/factory night sights (fixed)

ncostes · 02-22-2003, 02:45 PM

WHat is the best way to resolve this? They are factory night sites, fixed. Will para take the gun back and fix it? It happens from a rest, with 3 brands of factory new 230gr FMJ ammo. No such problems with my glocks or any of my other pistols.

Or is it smarter to just find a local gun smith?

Thanks
Nick

Hope you are making progress on your Para. They can give you fits sometimes but i live by them. Stay safe, cheers Floyd

I'm going to adjust the windage and live with the elevation. Is there anything special to adjust the windage - just loosen the hex screw and drift the site with a punch? Do you apply some red loctite?
Thanks
Nick

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Training and stuff, too busy hmmm. I find it best to use the blue lock tite (242?) Its a bit easier to unscrew the small allen otherwise the red will require a bit of force to remove and the allen, invarible I keep stripping the small allen screw.
I had a heck of a time finding 5 X 40 allen screws to fit my Novaks. Hope this helps. Stay safe, cheers Floyd
