That's exactly right. A number of people I've talked to shoot low
because they put the tip of the front sight on the top of the back
instead of aiming down the flat top of the barrel, as John suggests
below.
Just about everyone I've talked to who adjusted their sight picture
this way has fixed their problem. Just aim down the barrel with the
front sight directly over what you want to hit.
