Keeping the lever screws tight also helps keep it from dropping. I had a dovetail cut in the barrel of my Walker so I could install a taller front sight, and I plan to do the same to my Dragoon. More fun than any other pistols I've ever owned.

Just out of curiousity...How does the Walker models latch the lever up?
I've never personaly examined a Walker model..the Dragoons themselves being rarely seen in my parts...all you see is Navys..1860 Armys..and the Remingtons.
My new Dragoon shoots high too...but I'm not going to mess with the sights until I get some proper size balls and some more shooting experience with the revolver. Not all that far off..I may be able to live with it. at least with the small balls..it was pretty close to dead on at fifty/sixty/seventy yards...
