I'm trying to complete my air pistol sight adjustment list:

http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=35343

I've received info on a couple of missing bits, but thus far, I have ZERO information on SAM air pistols. My email to the company has gone unanswered.

Does anyone out there have a SAM and can give me any information on both the directions & amount of correction at 10 meters?

Also, does anyone know if the sight design was the same between various models?

Thanks!

I have a SAM K11 and if I can remember to bring it into the shop Monday I'll make some measurements. There is no information on the pages that accompanied the pistol. I should note that the front sight has 3 possible positions on the muzzle, so that will have to be calculated in too.

I don't know if the sight changed over time, but I bought some parts from Sam Lugano not long ago so he is still active. He was not terribly prompt about communications and it might help if you can email him in Italian:

For M10, each click corresponds to a correction of 2 mm on a target at 10 m.
If the shot is too low, turn screw (099) counter-clockwise.
If the shot is too high, turn screw (099) clockwise.

If the shot is too far on the left, turn screw (120) clockwise.
If the shot is too far on the right, turn screw (120) counter-clockwise.

Thank you! That's infinitely more info than I had before.

I sent an email to that address about 3 weeks ago, and haven't heard a peep.

I've been studying photos on-line, and it looks like the K9 through K14 all used the same sight design. It's a bit hard to say, but the K15 looks similar as well. I haven't been able to find a clear photo of the M10 to see how the sights compare. Some very blurry pictures look quite similar to the "K" models.

If you can verify that the adjustment is nominally the same as the M10 info posted here, I will feel reasonably confident that the adjustments are model independent. Using my standard notation, turning the adjustments clockwise should move the shots (and the sight) down & right.

As for the adjustable sight radius, the middle setting is probably fine. A number of vendors don't even differentiate even between full-sized & junior models, so the numbers aren't precise by any means. It's certainly important to know the direction, but I would consider anything between 1.75 & 2.25 mm to be "2 mm".
