Adjust The Front Sight Of A Sig Sauer Pistol

Sig Sauer is a manufacturer of firearms that are popular for military, law enforcement, and civilian use. One of the advantages to the Sig Sauer line of pistols is the consistency of design across their entire pistol line, making such tasks as adjusting the front sight for windage (left-to-right accuracy) the same regardless of model.


Instructions


1. Remove the magazine and ensure that the pistol is unloaded by pulling back the slide and visually verifying that the chamber is empty.


2. Field strip the pistol.


3. Install the slide onto the sight adjustment tool by aligning the grooves in the slide with the locking plate on the sight adjustment tool.


4. Align the front sight blade with the narrow slot (front sight alignment notch) in the top of the adjustment tool.


5. Hand-tighten the locking plate nob until the front sight is securely within the front sight alignment notch.


6. Turn the T-handle of the sight adjustment tool to adjust the front sight as desired. Remember that the front sight should be adjusted in the same direction where you want your bullet to go. For instance, if the pistol is shooting too far to the right, the front sight needs to be adjusted to the right.
