I will give Sig points for one thing, they seem to be thinking out of the box.
They also might be conceding the "x" ring. I, too, appreciate SIG exploring unorthodox concepts but I'm not one who believes pistols intended for short range shooting should necessarily not be viable for shooting at longer ranges. If you need a change of direction in terms of windage with an SAS pistol to coordinate the poa with the poi, what then?
What range are you thinking of that shooting this self defense pistol would suffer from wind drift ?
I just received a SAS without the ported barrel. Seller assured me (Gunbroker) that I would receive the ported version. Well they LIED!!!! I received an unported version. Did i get screwed or not?
I'm not talking about "wind drift"; I'm talking about windage.
You don't need wind to have a sight that needs adjusting to correct for windage. That can be the case straight from the box; happens all the time. If your point of aim does not coincide with your point of impact in terms of windage "side to side" (as opposed to elevation, "up and down") on a SIG SAS pistol, you're pretty much screwed. Even with "fixed" sights, as opposed to fully adjustable rear sights, most handguns can have the windage adjusted by drifting the rear sight with a hammer and drift pin in the direction you want the bullet to go (not the case with the SAS). Unless you're shooting at relatively long ranges, with most handguns, a needed change of windage has little to do with the wind.
You would need to send it back and they will adjust the windage.
Others have had to send them back for elevation adjustment, but not windage. Do you have any specific information or are just throwing shade ?
And just how would they do that with the rear "sight" being a part of the frame?
as Trey Vinston opined, "I would never own a carry gun that handicaps its accuracy at longer distances unnecessarily, but that's just me." It's me too.
Secondly, there are times when wind direction necessitates a change in the sight setting, left to right horizontally and vice versa. The best examples I've experienced have happened when I shoot in Bullseye competition; especially in venues like Camp Perry,
I'm not following this rabbit trail behind you anymore. If you viewed the video Trey Veston provided, you'd understand the possible problem and (aside from returning the slide to SIG and having it replaced ) there's no fixing it at home. Again, you had (have?) no clue as to what the term windage means and thought that windage necessarily meant dealing with the wind. Adios, but remember in the end, we're on the same team.
Other than being mechanically out of lateral adjustment
what could cause you to have to adjust windage if it is not the wind ?
You would need to send it back and they will adjust the windage.
"Adjusting" doesn't mean replacement. As I've been saying, there's no way to "adjust" the sight on a SIG SAS for windage.
