Yes, I am thinking that myself! Thanks for your informative post. Please look at my post #17 and tell me what you think.
Sir,
I have been an avid shooter and a "man at arms" since 1953.
(That means I have earned my bread by carrying arms for a living as a military man and professional law enforcement officer)Thirty seven years worth.
Except for those times on holiday when wearing a weapon was not on the menu, armed with a large bore handgun. Or two.
I do a LOT of shooting.
Often.
Wife annoyingly often.
You would think she would be numb by now. Uh-uh!
I know most handguns and shoulder arms pretty well by now. I also know enough not to perform any gunsmith work beyond that needed to keep the weapon running.
Anything more than routine cleaning and maintainance I leave to those who earn their bread in that profession. (smart division of labor as well as foolishness prevention technique)
Do not get me wrong. I have made many dumb weapons errors, but thankfully that was early in my life. I avoid them now in my silver haired years.
Chances are that *you* have damaged the integrity of the tritium capsules during the install and on more than one occasion.
I am not throwing rocks at you, just the likely circumstances.
I know a lot of folks that have used Ashley's XS and never had a problem. The lamps hold their integrity very well as history has shown. Some like them and some do not. I do.
Personal taste like Lambghorgini or Ferrari, or VW.
I cannot point a bony finger at you and say you screwed the pooch, but it seems so.
There are LOTS and LOTS of good smiths that can fix the problem. It is not a biggie nor very costly. Get it done and move along. Shoot well fella and enjoy the day.
Your sig is a good piece. Not a BHP or 1911, but what the heck. :-)

Here is a link to a sight adjustment tool that will fit a SIG P229, it costs less than the SIG tool, but works very well.
