[Seahawk]

I replaced the sights on my Browning Hi-Power with OEM-like adjustable sights.

Long story from long ago why I took the original sights off and subsequently lost them. Tears for a clown.

I had a gunsmith put the new sight on since I had trouble finding one and a local guy went was able to source one. The install looks great. This past holiday was sighting in time.

Wow - off by six inches at the highest adjustment point. Worse, of course, adjusted lower. I was bench shooting off a bag.

I went out and bought batteries for my old laser boresighter and spent an hour in my shop confirming the range results. The shop is long so I started at 30 feet and went to over 70. Results confirmed. I even rigged a stand so the pistol only moved when required.

I then adjusted the sight picture up and down at numerous setting with the laser on the target. It is clear the front sight needs to be "shaved" (or replaced) to get the sight picture in.

Has anyone here done this? I have done a number of searches and frankly it seems straight forward but the quality of the videos are often sketchy.

Recommended tools, techniques, how to cold blue, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. I have carried this gun all over the world and love shooting it.
