It was the first “S” that I came up with to replace “Shovel” that seemed relevant.

“Sight in” a Model 36?

I have a close friend who has a number of model 36 revolvers that he carries for self defense. He is an NRA lifetime Master pistol shot. He says that all his model 36 pistols came from the factory shooting a bit high, and that some judicious file work is required on the front sight to get them to shoot to point of aim.

His opinion is that this is done deliberately at the factory to allow the fixed sights to be customized to the carry load of the owner.

It is much easier to lower a fixed front sight than it is to add material to raise it.
