Yes, my xten shot low by 6" at 15m. At 100m I had to give it a LOT of elevation just to get it on paper and ring a 12" gong (yeah, I like long range pistol shooting.... at coyotes and rabbits, etc.). Far more elevation than what aiming with the target behind the front sight-dot would have impacted.
A friend that works at the LGS where I purchased it is a certified sig armorer. He tried the xten at 15m and 30m and it shot low for him as well, so he contacted Sig straight away.
Sig's rep told him that they've been reading and receiving a lot of 'internet lore' about the xten shooting low and said it's more or less BS that xtens shoot low and that they (sig) have not had that experience. Sure they haven't. Typical Sig. Friend told the rep that indeed it shot very low.
Luckily, friend had an extra set of the xray sights in the shop that were both #8's. He replaced the rear sight and it helped a little. I took it home and shot at 15m and 70m and it was still too low. Friend then replaced the front sight with the remaining #8 and that fixed the POA/POI problem. Sig then sent a replacement sight set to my LGS to replace the #8 set that was put on my xten, for which I will commend sig for doing that for free.
Of course, I'm not the big sig fan-boi that will completely modify my aiming method just for my one and only sig pistol. I put my POA/POI at the top of the sights, not behind the front dot that sig believes sighting should be held to.
This pistol still has a long massaging process to go before it's as accurate and consistent as my stock g20 and g40 at 15m and beyond. Not what I expected from sig.
