anglaispierre , I have several reproduction revolvers from different manufacturers. Every one shoots high out of the box. My understanding is that the guns dimensions are copied from originals and that Colt and Remington sighted their guns in at 50 yards. I have had good luck using silver solder to build up the front sight. It's a little tricky and the heat needed to melt the solder usually messes up the bluing on the end of the barrel. Since mine are shooters I just touch them up with cold blue and keep on going. If you want to keep the gun as nice as possible it's probably better to leave it alone.
