RR, I wouldn't be afraid to do a little filing. I do it all the time on my fixed sight revolvers that shoot too low. So do a lot of single action shooters. Almost standard procedure with these guns. Very common practice. Just take a file with you to the range, shoot, file little, shoot for effect, repeat as needed.
Agreed, I will if I have to. My front sight is about 1/4" high, I just ordered one from DGW that is 3/16"... I bet that makes a huge difference. If not I'll get the file out.

Amazing to shoot in such cold weather and still have all your fingers.

You are a brave soul. -12F and I'm shivering just thinking about those temps. Good shooting considering the conditions.

I can be a very determined person. A strange, determined person some days. I just really wanted to shoot that old style rifle in challenging conditions.
