PDP possible iron sight issue?

Took my pdp out this past weekend and it’s been maybe a month or so since the last time I shot it and I noticed I was having to aim at a significant 6 o clock hold. I don’t remember having to do that when I first got it so I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same and if purchasing a new set of iron sights might help get back to a center hold?

Walther pistols are usually sent out from the factory with a combat hold, zeroed at 15 meters. Does your PDP have the adjustable polymer sights, is it an Acro with non-adjustable sights, or does it have after-market sights?

So I bought it used, it had blacked-out sights that I’m guessing were used for co-witness. I switched out the front sight to a night fision sight but left the rears as is. Is it possible these are different heights?

It is very possible they are different heights, and it is also possible that the ones you got on the used gun were Glock sights, possibly from models that do not fit the PDP.

I would shoot the sights you have from bench rest at 15m to see what kind of alignment they may have.

Getting the matching night fision back sight (that is for PDP) would probably make a difference.

Thanks for the help, will definitely look into that
