Kimber sight question
« on: September 12, 2004, 04:42:28 AM »
I posted about 6 months ago about poor acuracy on my new coustom 2

 I finaly sen't it back. I got it back in a week. Impressed.

It's now shooting very tight groups. About 8 inches to the left at 25 yards.
It could be me, Ive had this problem shooting other people's guns.

Are the fixed sights on a coustom 2 adjustable for windage?
I have loosened the allen screw and pounded on the rear sight with a wooden dowell and hammer but it hasn't budged. I don't want to break something. I would rather have adjustable sights but I'm to tight to spend the 130 dollar machining fee + sights. Is there an easier way to move the rear sights without buying a high dollar tool? TIA

The kimber dovetailed sights are really tight! Remove the slide and place it flat on a firm padded surface after removing the set screw. Using a large as possible brass drift punch and a brass hammer, carefully--------KNOCK THE HELL out of it. Once it moves in the dovetail it gets easier. Remember to drift your rear sight in the direction you want your point of impact to move.

I had the same problem with my pro carry. I put the slide in a padded vice and hammered on the rear sight w/ a brass punch as hard as I could, it still didnt move. I ended up moving the front sight instead, it moved much easier.
