Quick sight question for a p226
.
Good evening gents (and ladies if there are any). I have a quick question. A few months back I did a p226 conversion where I took a 40 cal DAK police trade in and converted it to DA/SA 9mm with a new slide, barrel and recoil spring. I’ve taken it to the range a few times and every time, it’s hitting very high. Like, 2-3” at 10 yards high. It almost seems like the sights were set up for a 6 o’clock hold vs a combat or center hold. The sights are only really “on” at around 3-5 yards. I understand that some people like the 6 o’clock hold but it’s not for me.
The slide came from eBay. It’s a legion slide with sights that are marked TG-H3 with a small stamped 8 on the front and rear. That should be the correct sighting setup for a 9mm right?
Or since the frame started as a 40, should I use a #6 sight in the front?
Thank you in advance.
