Early lugers were recalled for the addition of the hold open, at the same time a higher front sight was installed to bring the zero distance down, from 100 to 75 m. I expect one could find the story of these changes in the Luger Parabellum 3 volumes somewhere.
More to the point, the high impact is why GT had taller front sights made- so that folks who want to shoot at 25 or 50 yards can change the front sight blade and hit where they aim. Lugerdoc has the sights in several sizes if anyone wants one.
