I am going to get night sights for my new G22.
after numerous attacks on the paper villan, I am shooting about 2" low.
I am holding the 6 O'clock spot.
SO I do not want to change this habit AND I want better sights.
according to glockfaq.com I should get the .276 height, simple enough BUT meps give a "+" or "0". Which one will add the 2" ?
I am not to keen on a two dot Heinie systems.
I like the three dot system or a set of Glock "U" and a dot.
Any helpful hints from veteran Glocksters would be great

2" low of your point-of-aim (6:00 on the bullseye) or 2" low relative to the center of the bull? At what range? What sights do you have on the Glock now?
Note that Glock factory sights are really set up for a combat sight picture, not a bullseye shooter's picture--you should be aiming at the center of the target.
Glock regulates point-of-aim/impact by varying the height of the rear sights--there are four different heights available from Glock. The standard (one bar) rear Glock sight, as found on the G22, corresponds to Mepro's "+0" rear sight. Their "+1" rear corresponds to the stock Glock sight for the G21; this taller rear will raise the point-of-impact approximately 2" at 25 meters.
One relatively inexpensive way to experiment (if you have the stock front) is to order all four plastic rear sights as a set from Glockmeister and try them. Another choice if you like the "ball in a box" sight picture provided by the stock sights (I do) is to buy an MMC adjustable white-outline rear.

Okay, you pretty much concured what I have been thinking about all day.
I also went to a shop that I THOUGHT was good, whole nother story.
The distance was at 25 meters, meters NOT feet. Well actually 27 meters. I was shooting clay pigeons on the berm.
I have a habit of "lolli pop" stlye aquisition. I dont know where it came from. I naturally hit the COM without even using sites, but for the few ladies I see on the range, I try to impress them ;f , J/k , BUT I do like extreme accuracy. This is why I bought a glock and not a 1911.
I did figure I need to raise POI to my style and can do it with the MEP "+". I am sure I can adjust to the 3 dot sys.
thanx of the reasurance.
