A foot is huge. What distance?
Are the slide stop/barrel feet/link all o.k.? Any play in the barrel? Bushing still intact? |

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna tear it all apart and I'll post pics of everything. This is my first and only 1911 so I'm a novice to say the least. And I was shooting at about 20 yards |

The TRP I have is set up for 6oclock aim. Most are.
Id say this is what you are encountering. You can swap out the rear for a shorter sight and it will bring it to POA/POI ETA. Sorry I actually read your OP. I don't know on this one. 6oclock will put it several inches high at 25 yards. Think of aiming at the bottom of a NRA bull and hitting it dead center. This is how 6oclock works. |

front sight got shorter during impact?
Your using 185 grain ammo? It could all be in your head. |

Have a stainless TRP and it shoots POA/POI.
It is a little bit older... Then I have a LW operator, and it shoots a touch high. The rear sight on my Op is a touch taller than the TRP. But a foot high? Bring your target in a bit... |

Bring your target in a bit... Its not me. I shot it extremely accurately before the fall. A few buddies shot it after the fall and they all had the same problem. |

Have you torn it apart yet to inspect it?

If the front sight is too short, you'll shoot high.

Check the muzzle crown. It could have been damaged during the fall. It wouldn't take much of a nick to cause your issue.

me three on the crown. I'm interested to see what it is. It seems like a pistol should be able to take a spill like that and still be gtg. Given that nothing was done to the sights. But a messed up crown is not good. From what I understand.

You would have seen marks or at least dust on the part of the 1911 that hit the concrete first ... so which part took the brunt of the energy?

Put it back together and it's all better now. Got the word earlier.
