Colt commander sight issue

[Corse]

So I bought a new Colt LW commander 38 super with Novak sight cuts and wanted to replace the sight with more of a Trijicon HD style. I found some trueglo's for commander guns that looked good, problem is the poi is 6" high at 25 yrds. Should I just throw these things away? Or......???

I did not. The sights are both significantly taller, but are labeled for 9mm commanders.

Since you mentioned new and wanting different sights, did you shoot it with the stock sights still on?

Shoot group from bench, measure precisely how high you’re printing using the rear sight you intend to use.
Go to the link provided. This will tell you what height FS you should be using.
Dawson has very good Tritium FS’s as well as FO.
I have no affiliation other than as a customer.

You also may want to try a few different kinds of ammo. Still seems high but you can always check. And you can let someone else shoot it to make sure your using correct sight picture.
