Had an old 3 screw in .357 and an early 3 screw SBH in .44 mag. Both shot great and to the sights. Whoever said they all shot high, was full of it. It wasn't the same person you bought it from was it? Hope not. At any rate, if you need a higher front sight, have it done and keep the gun. (or sell it to me) You will never regret it. 44 Man
