measure the front height and SW sells various heights and get one lower.
If it wasn't grouping really well -- I'd be right there with you asking if others had the same results. But, I've installed enough sights, and evaluated enough new guns to know THIS isn't me. It groups well, just low. And It has a nice trigger; heavy but surprisingly crisp. I was shooting from a rest. (Big bag of rice in doubled freezer bags.)

The current front sight is already VERY LOW (approx. 3/16th of an inch high from the little raised base area on the front of the barrel.) I doubt that S&W has a lower one -- as there's just not much room left for a sight that still has a dot on it.

(I will contact them, but I doubt it will be a good exercise. I guess I could also order a replacement front sight from E-GUNPARTS, and grind it down and see whether that will raise the point of impact enough to do any good.)
