I bought a Cimarron Frontier SAA clone made by Pietta and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. It has the 5.5" barrel and is chambered in .357/.38
I usually check the sights on all of my new guns with a laser boresight to get an idea of poi and proper sight picture and with all of my modern guns it lines up as expected.
When I tried it on the SAA the laser is 4" low from where I would expect it to be on the front sight. This is at 15 yards. The windage is dead on.
I have been reading that a lot of these guns are coming with high front sights that you need to file down but it seemed like I would need to do an awful lot of filing to get the sights and laser to where I think they should line up.
I must be missing something. Has anyone ever tried to boresight an SAA before?
