k-38 shoots to high,need advice

I gotta ask, when I read threads like this about an inch or two difference at 50 feet or 25 yards how are you shooting these? I consider myself a so-so shot, standing with a two handed grip at a 7 yard target and can keep most of my shots in a 2" to 3" group and seem to shoot better than a lot of those around me. If I move over to the 15 yard line I'm probably getting 7" to 8". So how are you guys shooting a pistol so straight that you consider being an inch off at 50 feet a problem?

Standard outdoor pistol bullseye matches at 50 yards for slow fire for all three guns, rim, center and .45. We need guns that shoot a 1.5" group at 50 yards to keep it in the X ring. Most Master and High Master bullseye shgooters will clean the X ring out of the slow fire target. Indoors at 25 yards we shoot on a reduced target and the X ring is about an inch in diameter. Of course, we ARE shooting target loads which are pretty mild compared to the full house stuff. Let's you concentrate much more when the gun isn't bouncing around so much.

A couple years ago I bought an extremely nice 4" Highway Patrolman. The gun had obviously been fired little. After trying to sight it in at 25 yards with my pet plinking load of 158 grain cast and 6 grains of Unique, frustration set in with it shooting high with the rear sight set all the way down. A change of the rear sight blade to a much lower one solved the problem. Gunsmith said it was just a factory mistake!!
