Well I recently picked up a Heritage .22lr/.22mag. I took it out to the range to see how it shoots. It shoots to the left pretty bad. I was looking around on Heritages website and there recommendations are to bend the front sight slightly to the left. I was a little hesitant to do this as I did not want to tear my front sight off and have more problems than the gun shooting to the left. The rear sight is a U-Notch so I cannot shave the rear sights. I took it to the range and decided I would give bending the front sight a shot. After a couple of light bending attempts I was seeing no improvement. I bent the front sight with some force and it felt like it broke off but I think the teeth on the pliers just slipped off the sight because It was not loose at all. My question is has anyone bent the front sight on a fixed sight revolver to sight it in and what are the chances of me breaking it off. I have just been making my point of aim at the right edge of the black and have been shooting very well with that method so should I just leave it alone or try to bend it. Any input would be very much appreciated.
