Anyone have problems with their model 15 or 44 consistently shooting high? The 44 really is not bad but the 15 shoots about 6-8" high at 25yd. It gets progressively slightly better as I change to shorter barrels. I have a pistol pac with 2,4,6&8" barrels. The 44 is 8" and will sight in ok at 50yd using a 6 o-clock hold.Any suggestions appreciated.

I have seen different height front sights. Have you checked that all front sights are identical? Also, I had a similar problem with a 722 that would shoot high even with the rear all the way down. The Millet Target rear sight has a lower profile and dropped POA/POI right into place.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

The front blades are all the same original items. What is Millet Target rear sight and how can I find one? Thanks

I have exactly the same problem.
DW Instruction booklet shows the POA for a target pistol as bottom of second ring: https://www.danwessonforum.com/wp-content/uploads/DW%20Brochure.PDF
So it is designed to shoot 1.5 - 2" high, but not 6 - 8"!
I have my rear sight bottomed out as well and am going to detail it tonight.
Has anyone else seen this problem on 15-2's?

savoy- I know a lot of shooters do not like Ebay, because of their "anti gun" stance, but I have found many DW accessory items (grips, barrel wrenches, front sights, Millet target sights, etc) there. I have also gotten some Browning Buckmark grips there at real good price.
