Yes, check if the barrel is rotated. Is it a pinned barrel?
Also check the crane and frame for any indication that the frame may be bent. I am assuming it does the same for all chambers? I have a Taurus rimfire that is like this, and it is likely the barrel was installed wrong. It is accurate as hell, so I didn't send it in to be corrected. |

Yes.
The "experts" all say its just me. This is why I switched to a dot sight. Now I can just shoot, and not have some "expert" questioning me about why the sight is hanging over the right edge of the gun. Although I guess dots aren't officially cool on revolvers yet. |

The barrel is not pinned There is a slight gap between the crane and the frame but nothing worse then my J frame. I truly believe the sight is off center with the 2 piece barrel being crooked |

Take the gun to a USPSA/IPSC match, and ask somebody who wins matches to try it out. . |

I emailed smith and sent pictures.
They have suggested I return it for inspection |

Just got off the phone with Smith and Wesson. They adjusted the barrel alignment, I am scheduled to have the gun back Friday. Glad they did me right.
