My .44 cal Remington Army revolver shoots high. I have watched different videos such as soldering, JB weld, and some type of lock-tight compound. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?
 
Give it a whack with a Babbitt rod. That’s how gunsmiths adjusted point of impact on fixed sight revolvers.
 
I have the same issue with a luger p08. No room to file and front sight needs to be lengthened. I am thinking to grab an aftermarket one and use it. do you think jb weld will hold up?

I bought some JB weld, water resistant apoxy today. I really believe this will work.

I was successful with the JB Weld. I am looking forward to practice tomorrow and I built it up high enough to allow for any needed filing!
 
No way. The procedure is old school.

I apologize for that. I used JB Weld today to build it up taller. Then I filed and formed it better. Tomorrow, I will take it out to my range and shoot/file until I get to shooting correctly. I just hope it holds!
 
Go to Google then search, adjust sights on fixed sight revolvers. That will take you to several handgun forums and you can find out what it takes to change POI. In a manner of speaking, they align the barrel to the frame, using different methods.
