Hello,

I'm struggling with my New fullsize 5inch pdp. It is shooting way too low. Aiming above bulleyes, rear sight sight elevated to the max and I'm hitting the 6 or 7 below at 25 meters. Rear sight elevated to the max, that is all clicks counterclockwise.

I dont Understand what is wrong. French support said they'd contact Walther Germany to fond out if there 3 different front sights depending on the barrel lenght but they have no clue so far

Any ideas or advices like unmount and remout both sights ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Cheers from Paris
Fabien

What size bullseye are you using?
And what is you sight picture?(how are you aiming)

Are you using a rest to see if it is the gun and not you?

To raise the point of impact, lower the rear sight.

That might be true on your side of the pond. Here, in Europe, it's the other way round.

This.

Balogh: Yes, you are correct. One must raise the rear sight to raise the point of impact. My early morning comment above, was without the benefit of coffee.

PS: Now I'm logging "off to avoid" additional self inflicted embarrassment!

Seated with a sandbag. I shoot FS92 / CZ75, Manhurin MR, Colt Python and Anaconda. Almost all guns the range has. PDP is mine i bought it for myslef, but there is definitely something wrong with the sights as i received them

Actually it is the C50 targets which WE use down here on France at 25 meters, that is roughly 25 yards. I will try to unmount the rear sight and see if the front sight has a screw of not.

Did you also let someone else shoot your gun? Was the result the same?

How about a close picture of the rear and front sights?

What you are experiencing is not normal

Welcome to the forum.

I've looked through several different PDP parts schematics and can only find one size of front sight - 4.9mm.

Hello Fabian. How far off is the point of impact?

Hello Fabian. How far off is the point of impact?

I'm aiming the 6-7 above the 10 (bullseye) only to reach the 7 below. That's huge

Thanks that's also what Umarex support told me. Would you know if there is a screw beneath the front sight?

I'll do next saturday with some more experienced shooters who know how to set the action of adjustable sights. All the guns i'm shooting are all adjusted. Love the MR73 sport

Looks like a hex screw. Here's a link to the download section of Walther's European website. It has the manuals and parts schematics for numerous current and legacy products.

Thanks a lot, definitely need to check out if the screw is ok and screwed to the max.
Schématics do help
