Adjusting Glock 17 Sights

I was at the range today tryingt to zero my new Glock 17, when I noticed something. I was unable to find a way to adjust the sights for elevation. After looking in the manual, I see that there are no instructions as to how to change elevation. My gun is shooting very high at the moment, and I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone may have on adjusting my sights. Also, is it unusual for the barrel of a Glock 17 to be inclined slightly upward when the slide is pulled back?

  It's unusual for a glock to shoot high, most complaints are a low to the left for right handers.
  Here's a site that offers factory sites of different heights.

  Also insure that you are using the glock sights correctly, meaning that the top surface of the front sight is level with the top surface of the rear sight with the front sight centered in the notch.
  
  Another thought for sighting in your pistol with fixed elevation sights is to try different bullet weights and possibly different manufacturers.
  
  As far as the barrel being inclined slightly upward when the slide is pulled back, This is normal.

  I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.
