Mine groups real well but shoots pretty high, I have filed off about as much of the rear sight (hammer) as I feel I should. The top of the cylinder is just starting to show at the bottom of the 'V' and throws off my sight focus just a tad.

Does anybody make a replacement front sight for these? Also, does this same situation exist on other Colts: 1860s, Dragoons etc? Thanks
