I would say no. How is it shooting at 50 and 75 yards. What distance are you going to be shooting?

What ammunition are you using?  If you are using low-vel cowboy stuff, expect it to land high.  Full-power .44 ammo should land within the range of adjustable sights.  3" high at 25 yards is not acceptable IMO.

Thanks guys I fixed it. I switched blades with a blachhawk and kinda came out ahead since the bh shot kinda low and it worked out perfectly.
