Does anyone know if the 7-8 sights on a P6 are the typical combat configuration?

Every Sig I have owned had the sight height so that the shooter covered the bulls eye with the front sight as opposed to having the top of the front sight on the desired point of impact. I am told that this is a combat configuration. I don't have a P6 or I'd just shoot it and find out. I actually read a post somewhere where a guy sold his new Sig because it shot low and apparently he didn't read the instructions. The P6 has a 7 rear and 8 front. Right image is the way Sig sights work which IMO is great for defense. Image 2 is better for shooting the head off Grouse.

I can't say about the P6 but both of my P226's. i put the front dot where I want the bullet to go. Same as my p229..so yea i'd say they are combat sights.
I'm betting it was his grip and trigger control

this is out of the manual, i did not know this
16 Sights The SIG SAUER pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights which have proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear sight and a front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target acquisition even when visibility is poor. You can adjust the sights as follows: Windage (left/right): Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left or right in its dovetail. When you do this, follow the rear sight rule: Move the rear sight in the direction you want the group to go . Moving the rear sight 0.020" in the dovetail changes the point of impact by approximately 3" at 25 yards. ( Note: SIG SAUER has available a Sight Adjustment Tool which makes it easier to adjust and change sights.) Elevation (up/down): There are different height combinations available for the front and rear sights. The sights are numbered according to their height. You can change elevation by changing either the rear or front sight. It's easier if you change the rear sight first. Each rear sight change will move the impact of the bullet approximately 2" at 25 yards. Each front sight change will move the impact of the bullet approximately 1" at 25 yards. When changing sights, remember this rule: NUMBERS UP, GROUPS UP; NUMBERS DOWN, GROUPS DOWN . This is true for both front & rear sights. Sight Options Front Sight Rear Sight Number Height Number Height 05 6.01 mm /.235� 05 5.52 mm / .22� 06 5.88 mm / .230� 06 5.80 mm / .23� 07 5.74 mm / .225� 07 6.07 mm / .24� 08 5.60 mm / .22� 08 6.35 mm / .25� 09 5.46 mm / .215� 09 6.62 mm / .26� 10 6.90 mm / .27 Image 2 is the way i have always shot it, lining up the dots.
