The catalog shows that a .245" front sight was optional.

If yours has the taller front sight that might be why yours is hitting low.

The majority of my 3rd Gens all hit bullseye with a 6 o'clock hold.

I have had a couple that shot low & I put a shorter front sight on to correct.

That is a great point. I measured the front and it seems like the .229" version. The rear is 0.288" from the top of the slide, the best I could measure with my caliper.

You gave me an idea though: I'll try a boresighter and see what it says. I don' t have one in 10mm

If none of this pans out and after some more time with the gun I think I will go with the adj rear sight
