I have a question on the correct sight picture using the issue Heinie sights on the PT 1911.
For the correct sight picture does the front sight dot sit atop the rear sight dot to make a figure 8 ? Or, does one level the front sight top with the top of the rear sight and use a 6 o'clock hold ?
My Taurus shot a good 6 inches low at 7 yards but I used a 6 o'clock hold with a figure 8 sight picture which really places the top of the front sight very low in the rear sight notch and may account for the low bullet placement. Next time out I plan to blacken the dots and use a typical target hold at 6 o'clock and at 7 yards and see what happens.
