My Browning Hi-Power shooting left PART 2 !!!!!! (not 56K friendly)

[Keith]

The solution is the same whether it's you or the gun - adjust the sights!

I could bore you with several examples of pistols that shot to one place in my hands, and to another in the hands of a friend. I'll spare you, but the solution is the same - adjust the sights to shoot where the OWNER wants them to hit.

It really is that simple!

No firearm is perfectly fitted and concentric in all its parts.
No two human hands are the same.
We all hold a gun differently, pull the trigger with different parts of our finger and look down the sights differently.

Put a piece of heavy tape on the side of the sights and give it a couple of firm taps; shoot. Repeat until bullets hit where you want them to hit.

Yeah, buy the Captain, then find out it shoots 4" high.

Has anyone ever seen "The odd couple"?

At last we've found Felix Unger. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Again, how did you measure that the sight is centered?

 

[Sean Smith]

WonderNine,

There is no secret evil reason for your gun to be shooting slightly off-center at 25+ yards. Just drift the sight a fraction of an inch and be done with it. I think the only major problem here is operator headspace and timing.

WN- You know, there's nothing wrong with being a perfectionist, but the kind of nit-picking you're doing is confined to the realm of full custom guns, and then only sometimes.

Looking for cosmetic perfection in a production gun is just plain silly.
