The hump & bump sights were designed for durability but are not exactly user friendly.
Not cheap to replace either. PITA

Clark Custom can take care of the problem - google them and they'll give you a quote.

I love adj sights because I shoot whatever's on sale and don't like to aim high & right to hit the center.

If you want adjustable sites that work be prepared to stake a front site

Or you could save the value of the gun and buy a new slide with the sights you want.

Not sure how easy that is in your neck of the woods?

Good thought- With Ebay letting gun parts back in there are always a lot of slides there for grabs - some go for a good price - some go for a crazy price
Thats Ebay for you
