Don't all the 9mm Glocks come with 6.5mm rear sights? I was shooting low the first time I took the 19x out I figured it was just me getting used to the new gun and trigger but then I saw that they come with 6.1mm rear sight height instead of the 6.5mm. Did something change or am I misinformed on sight heights?

I routinely replace the standard sights with steel OEM, and a '+1' rear to give a 6 o'clock hold. I've done this on 17/19/26, and been happy with the results. It may be shooting a little high, but I'm not unhappy.
