can anybody give advice on how much to adjust the rear sight? Fired my SR9C for the first time today. Consistently hitting 4" lower than target center, shooting from about 8 yards out.

Instructions call for turning counter-clockwise to raise point of impact but is there no ballpark guestimate to go by based on distance from target & number of inches off of center? Or is it going to be completely trial & error to get it right?

Pretty much trial and error. A 4" deviation at 8 yards is quite a bit off. As a first guess, try turning the elevation screw counterclockwise two full turns and keep track of the slot orientation so you know exactly how far you turned it. Shoot the gun again and see where it hits. Refine the elevation setting based on that. It shouldn't take long or very many adjustments to get it zeroed properly.shawndaniels said:

got it...one thing I did find out was that the sight was on it's lowest setting, screw wouldn't turn clockwise at all.

When I put a bore laser in mine to adjust the tlr-4 laser, looking down the sights at 10-15yrds the bore sight was quite a bit higher than the front sight. When I shot it before I would have to place the front sight low on target to hit dead nuts. Had to crank the rear down almost to the lowest setting before it lined up with the bore sight. Took it out to the range and its spot on now.
