I have a new CW40 that I took to the range for the first time today. It shoots VERY low, as in a good six inches at 15 yards. The shots are consistently grouped straight at six o'clock. I don't think I'm relaxing or breaking/dropping my wrist. I don't have the same issue with my .25 or .22. I didn't have the opportunity to have a more experienced shooter give it a try.

Assuming the sights are the issue, how can I adjust for elevation? Do I pull the front sight and trim a little at a time off the bottom? (New sights are not a option for a little while yet.)

BTW, other than the sights, I have no significant issue with the pistol. The trigger pull is very long, but also very consistent. I wish it broke a little sooner, but its no big issue. I've read about reliability issues with Kahrs in the first 200 rounds, but I went 40 for 40 without a hiccup.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
