Hi People,
Can anyone help? I have just bought a Twinmaster Top pistol and cannot get my grouping any lower than top of the black. The sights are maxed out. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or am I just wierd?
Regards,
Martin
Can't adjust sights enough to bring group down on Twinmaster

I am not familiar with your pistol, however, if you shim the front sight to make it higher it will lower the group.
With the rear sight set at mid-point (so you have plenty of correction) start raising the front sight until the group is where you want it to be. Make sure that there is no play or wobble when the front sight is tightened securely.
I assume that you are probably using a center hold. That, of and by itself, does not make you wierd.

Martin,
I do not know of any commercially made shims since there are so many different methods and dimensions for attaching the front sights on various pistols.
The shims can be as simple as a cut in half paper clip that fits in the recess of the milled slot under the sight thus raising the overall hight of the sight (which was the perfect height for my Morini 162E) or as elaborate as an insert made out of black plastic (which I have done on my Styer LP10 and for other shooters in my club). The milled slot on the Styer is not very deep so it needed a more elaborate solution to get the right height.
Again, I do not know how the sight on your pistol is attached but DIY is not all that difficult. The best solution is often simple and inexpensive.

Sound advice again Sandy.
I thought that might be the case. I will endeavour to create some black plastic shims and give them a go. I am looking to purchase a newer pistol towards the end of the year. SAM K14/K15 and Steyr LP2 are my favourites at the moment.
Regards the centre grip I do actually aim just below the black. I was aiming at the bottom of the pellet catcher and hitting centre. But this will not work in the long term.
