the sights set as they come from the factory (intermediate
position on both elevation and windage), and then make
incremental adjustments to move the sight blade and
blade holder to position the group on your target. The
procedures below are for the type of open sights found on
many current Model 9410 shotguns.
BEFORE MAKING ANY SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS,
MAKE SURE YOUR SHOTGUN IS FULLY
UNLOADED AND THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN
A SAFE DIRECTION. PLACE THE HAMMER IN
THE REBOUND POSITION AND THE
MANUAL HAMMER STOP/SAFETY INTO
THE “ON” POSITION.
U P OR DOWN ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS —
Adjusting elevation on your Model 9410 requires you to
lift up the rear notch blade holder on your shotgun’s rear
sight with your fingers and move the notched elevator
either forward or backward (Figure 20). To raise point of
impact, use your fingers to lift up on the blade and slide
the elevator rearward. Adjusting the sight to make your
gun shoot lower is just the opposite — move the elevator
forward. Remember:
• Move the blade and holder UP to shoot HIGHER.
• Move the blade and holder DOWN to shoot LOWER.
R IGHT OR LEFT WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS —
On most Model 9410 sights, the entire rear sight blade
holder is dove-tailed in the rear sight base. To adjust for
windage, gently move the rear sight blade to the right or
left by tapping at the dove-tail using a wood or fiber
dowel or hammer that will not mar the sight (Figure 21).
If you tap to the right your gun will shoot more to the
right. Moving the blade holder to the left is just as easily
done. Note how much you adjust the sight as you sight-in
your Model 9410. Remember:
• Move the rear sight to the RIGHT to shoot farther to
the RIGHT on the target.
• Move the rear sight to the LEFT to shoot farther to the
LEFT on the target.
