Was glad to pick up this 226 in Bedford last week.
It was a Sig, so I had to try it out even though it isn't a target pistol.
Help needed:
I am puzzled as to these rear sights.
When I go online I can't find anything about them for the .22LR model, only for the rear sights for the other calibers.
Thanks for any input!
I thought this big screw on top was for the elevation, but it was really stuck on tight & I left it alone, not wanting to force it until finding out it's function.
I did wonder if it was a locking screw for adjustments & had to be loosened to change any adjustments.
But, now I'm thinking the top screw must be loosened to drift for the windage?
Now, this small screw on the right side that I thought would be for the windage (like on other guns), ended up being for the elevation.
It was shooting low, & I have adjusted this screw a couple of times but it didn't seem to do much.
But, I didn't turn it much.
I read where it needs to be turned 1 whole revolution just to get a 2 inch POI difference (forget at what distance).
That wasn't talking about the .22LR model, but perhaps the concept is the same.
I was reticent to turn it so much at the time since I didn't know if the bigger top screw needed to be loosened first?
