Night sight help

I carry a P6, had the front sight painted gold and I was a very good shot for such a small gun, couldn't see it in the dark so well and thats probably when I would need it.

Meprolights got installed green/green. dim/lowish light I can still hit fairly well but not as small a group as before.

Bright light, I can't hit $HIT. I mean used to be 8" at 25 yards rapid fire, now its 10" at 12.5 yards

I have changed my grip to what is CORRECT since I got them installed the first week of august and quite honestly, it seems more reliable the way I hold it.

But I see the brighter it is the worse of a shot I am, any suggestions? Thinking about getting the box around the mepro front sight painted gold. Also tempted to get novak rears so I have that curve shape like my sig original sights did.

Anyone ever have this happen?

http://www.novaksights.com/images/si...-05-SIG-PB.jpg is more or less what i had before for the rear

what I have now http://img01.static-nextag.com/image.../542346128.jpg

debating http://www.novaksights.com/images/si...07--SIG-NS.jpg I'm wondering if in the daylight my eyes will line up better on them, also wondering if I ought to get a different color for the rear. but at night I don't think I need the different color. but low light would it help?

who installed your sight? Maybe it is the install and not you...

Well maybe anyway.

when its over cast/in the shade I'm MORE accurate. sights are good, its me. Other people have no issues whatsoever with it. Todd at custimized creationz did it, told him I was off by x at 10 meters, he totally put the night sights on correct first try. I'm totally exited with his install, my eyes don't seem to work too well with these though.
