Desert eagle adj sights

libiglou · July 14, 2018, 09:37 PM

Well I took my 44 mag DE to the range today. Its been about 5 years since I shot her and the sights are messed up. The gun shoots way low. I had adj sights done years ago and they were not right. I broke off part of the rear sights screw years ago. I had a buddy confirm the problem today and decided I wanted to get her shooting in top form again since it is a lot of fun shooting this gun. The front sight is too tall so I'm thinking of just replacing them both and starting all over. Anybody have any recommendations. Thanks

ya, I would replace and start over,I like the orange front with white back from millet but checking there web page it looks like they stopped carrying them.

I'm pretty sure I have the millet sight now. Wasn't crazy about them. Limited options with this pistol. The search continues....

I went for the less expensive adjustable fiber sites on the Kahr site for my Desert Eagle L5 .50. I like them much better than the stock combat sights.

I like 3 dot sights and shoot my DE much better with these sights. The sites themselves are smaller than I had expected but this is not necessairly a bad thing. They are well worth the $80 they cost in my opinion and seem plenty rugged for long term use. They took minimal filing for a good solid fit.
