A taller front sight would be an option.

With a short blade, you get a short notch. It's more difficult to get a good sight picture in a shallow notch. It depends on what you're using the gun for whether that matters or not.
Is this a a 45acp or a 45 Colt? What distance?, holding at 6 o'clock? have you tried factory ammo, varied the load?
What about the grouping even though high?
I guess i am too much of a shotgunner to let that bother me. If i had a gun shooting 4 to 6" high at 25 yards, and grouping say 2", that would just not bother me at all. That pretty much tells me I am dead on at 50 yards.
I would try varying some things before I changed parts

Before changing sight component (s), you might try a faster bullet. Faster bullets will shoot lower, other things being equal. First try a 230 gr, and if that doesn't do it, a 200 gr. You might also try a firmer grip.

I have a 25-15 and it shot high too. 6-8 inches high at 50 ft using 250 gr LSWC, 8-8.5 gr Unique.
My understanding is this model is sighted at the factory using 185 gr bullets.
The only solution for me is to install (by myself) a Dawson front sight that is taller. The sight doesn't come pre-drilled so you have to do this yourself unfortunately.
This operation is not for the faint of heart.
