I purchased a used G30 a few months ago from Baltimores Best Pawn. I replaced the stock sights with a set of night sights.
I thought everything was aligned pretty good. My shot groups were consistently about 2” left at 25ft. Paying close attention I guess I could see maybe the rear sight was slightly left so I went home and pushed it slightly right. Last week when I went back to the range shots were about 2” right.
When I measure the center of the edges of the rear sight notch from the edge of the slide its within .005” from each other. So it looks right.
I really don’t want to be taking my glock apart and trying to adjust the sights with the sight tool, out in the cold at AGC, or worse standing at the firing line at an indoor range.
I did install a Viridian C5L so I’m thinking if I go to the range today and spend some time aligning the laser with the center of my shot group, then when I get back home I can adjust the rear sight to align with the laser.
Does my approach make sense? How would an armorer align the sights?
