I try to have my hand forward of the sights. I grip the handle in my right hand as if to shoot with my index finger extended so it's not on the trigger. I then place the palm of my left hand just forward of the rear sight. I keep my left hand flat so I don't pinch any skin and start pressing together. I have to be a bit careful not to catch my shirt but otherwise that keeps my hands off the sight and from being pinched.
I cock the pistol with my hand on the top flat area and avoid the sights.

I removed the rear sight and put a 11 mm dovetail to weaver rail adapter on it. Then installed a used Truglo Red Dot that I had sitting around. I do try to use the very rear of the top cover with left hand index finger and thumb to close. With time it is getting easier.
When I was using the rear sight I had no issue with sight zero moving. Screw stayed put, rear sight would move and return to zero.
Have also been trying to figure out a way to make a handle which would let me add length and keep my hand away from sights. Have not figured it out yet. But there is a spot in the middle where there is a plastic area not filled in. You can see the barrel. Once I have a second one to rip apart and tinker with I am thinking I will figure something out.
Thanks too all for the info .And Ghost Hawk if you figure out the handle let me know .Marvin
I also keep my hand off the sight.

Shoot the pistol today for about 2 hours . I was standing the whole time and up right I have the cocking down. Glad I do not have large fingers for the loading . Used the open sights and did well . RD should be here tomorrow late . Think I will take it out again in the morning with the sights . Marvin
