Adjustments were as easy as loosening the Allen screw to move the sight left or right with a standard screwdriver and then locking it down when the sight was where you needed it to be. Windage on the rear sight is locked in place by an Allen screw. Sights are typical Colt adjustable types with a red insert on the front sight and a plain black rear sight.
