Ed K Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I just bought a used 35 with factory adjustable sights. No manual came with the gun. (I will order one). Looking at the gun from the right side, the sights have 2 adjustment screws. 1 is top left of center, 1 is bottom right of center. Which one is elevation? Which one is windage? Thanks in advance for the help. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I forget - but just start turning the screws and it's easy to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yes. You will notice which way the sight moves pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed K Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thanks guys. 2 minute call to Glock USA, questions answered Top = Elevation Bottom = Windage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryucasta Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 All of the adjustable sights/scopes I have ever used worked that way top for elevation and side for windage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I prefer to adjust mine with a punch and a hammer. Use however many hammer blows as it takes to get them out of the gun, then replace them with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimWarner Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 You had to use a punch? the adjustable sights that came on my G34 jumped off the slide while I was shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo radley Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I was going to say -- I think I could have pushed the "adjustable" rear sight out of the dovetail with both my G35 and G34 with my thumb. They're a poor joke, is what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed K Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 I know that they're not the best. I just bought the gun for my girlfriend. She wants to start competing this year. I DO intend to look at some after market stuff in the very near future. I just want to be sure she likes it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I don't like the stock Glock sight, but I've been using it in competition for the better part of the year and it's still going strong. The way I remember the sight adjustment is to look at the screw and remember that it doesn't move, but rather moves the sight. So a vertical screw turned clockwise will pull the sight up. A horizontal screw on the right side of the gun, turned counterclockwise, will push the sight away, or to the left. Sounds complicated, but it's simpler if you're looking at the gun.

Keith Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Ed, If you guys are planning on being at SCAPSA for the match tomorrow, I will probably be shooting my 35 with the Heinie rear sight and the Dawson FO front sight if you want to take a peek at that setup.

Ed K Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hey Keith. No SCAPSA tomorrow, but MAPSA next week. If you're going to be there, I'd like to look at it. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 No problem. Looks like we're gonna get a little wet tomorrow, anyway. I plan on being at MAPSA, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
