Re: Low, and to the left.

But not at point of aim. At a distance of about 15' it was hitting about an 1" low and about 2" to the left. The old sights were dead nuts.
I know they're centered to the slide because I used a dial caliper. I took it home and made a fine pencil mark and drifted the front sight a little bit. The gun is now hitting closer to center but still low. If I move it any more it will be clearly off center. I don't think it's my shooting because it was dead on before the sight swap, and I'm shooting really tight, consistent groups.
What now? I like the sights, but I like my guns to hit what they're aiming at. They're fixed sights so I think I'm fucked on the elevation anyway, but what should I do?

An inch is marginal at 15ft, or five yards. What happens at 25 yards? Just curious.
