PPK/S sights?

[Rezin]

Been blasting away with my Walther at the range. Good groups for a shooter with a long time away from guns, but I am consistanly pulling to the left (and sometimes a bit low) Generally 5 well aimed shot are within 3 inches or so at 10 yards. Just out to the left about 4 inches or so.

When I switch to my wifes Bersa Thunder (Similar gun) I don't pull and hit the bullseye much more consistanly, so I am guessing my sights are out a bit.

Does the PPK/S have any way to adjust the sights? Or will I just need to learn my "windage" lol......

It sounds like you might have developed a flinch. You wouldn't think a .380 could cause a flinch but it's not uncommon because they tend to be very snappy. Try dry firing the gun and watch if the sights move.

You can move the rear sight over with a brass or nylon drift and a small hammer, but there is no adjustment possible for elevation unless you replace the rear sight.

My rear sight has needed to be pinged tight three times since I have had the gun. As long as I make sure that it is tight, I have no problems.

I originally assumed it was a flinch or some shooter issue. Until I used the wifes pistol, and it was "cured"



I'll get the owner of my little shop/range to drift it over for me... I don't have the equipment.

Thanks for the info!
