| Just purchased a FN Hi-Power Israeli Police trade-in. It's a 1989. I bought it because it appeared to be in very good condition with no scratches into the metal and both factory sights are dove-tailed in for easy removal and replacement. Lack of scratches and dove-tailed sights were two reasons for buying it because I want to upgrade the sights and trigger and resurface it. I shot a few rounds (Winchester white box, 115 gr FMJ) through it just to see how it shoots. Started at 30 feet and the impact was 2 inches left and 8 inches low. As I moved closer the impact moved closer to center and ultimately at 6 feet the impact was still 1 inch left and 2 inches low. I'm not the best shot but have shot dozens of pistols so I know something in addition to me is wrong. Could this just merely be the sights? The barrel? Just want to make sure before I spend the money on new sights (probably Novak and fiberoptic), trigger and surface work. Appreciate the insight. P.S. I'll have a friend verify the point of impact so no need to critique this old man.LOL! |
