Pretty sure I know the answer, but wanted input from those that have shot this model for a while.

At 7 yards mine is shooting about 6”-8” high, how can I lower the POI? I know the front sight is integral with the slide, so having a taller sight isn’t possible and the rear sight is about as low as it can get already. I’m thinking it’s got to be a change in my sight picture that can lower the POI. Currently I’m using a 6 o’clock hold.

Experiences?

Six o'clock hold and still hitting high of center?
Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

General education should not be mere job training, but training in how to be fully human.

I know this seems counterintuitive, and I did not believe it until I tried it, but try lighter bullets.

^ true.  Refers to “dwell time”.  Heavier = slower = more time in the bore that recoil could effect.  Lighter = less dwell and more speed = less recoil effect
