S&W Equalizer Shoots Low

[Protocall_Design]

Shooting low can be pretty equalizing in some cases...

I ran another 100 rounds of Win NATO & American Eagle 124 Gr. with similar results. This time I paid careful attention to trigger press and benched it to prevent downward movement. It shoots about 4" low. I believe there is something wrong in this guns design as I have never seen any gun with a super tall rear sight twice as tall as the front sight. My brother bench confirmed the low printing with my nieces Equalizer. My next move is to laser bore-sight to confirm the gun. Then next grind down the front sight & cover the white dot and rear face with colored enamel paint. I may have to proceed to acquire an adjustable red dot sight in the end. Sounds as if S&W doesn't care to look into it with others. The "combat" sighting method does not wash with me as the sights obscure the target at any distance, and my other eight handguns are not sighted this way. My entire shooting history of 61 years has used the bullseye sight picture.
Why should I change now at age 76!

Exactly my situation, too. NRA Sharpshooter Bar 1. It's not me, shooting low. The red dot proves it.
Look at my earlier post. I think Ameriglo might have a rear sight that will work with the front.

I would link it here, but forum does not allow.

BTW, something happened with the S&W move from Mass, to Tenn. I think they lost all their experienced gunsmiths.
