No matter what ammo or who shoots it,it will always shoot 3" left @ 25 yards.It has fixed sights.Is there anyway to correct this?

Fixed rear sight? Rule of FORS

"Front,opposite"

"Rear, same"

Drift your rear sight a tad left. Shoot. Adjust as necessary.

I had to do the same with a Gen 3 G17. No big deal.

That will do it, a little goes a long way.

Have someone else shoot it to make sure it's not you.

Uhm, no.

One move the REAR sight in the direction they wish to the bullet point of impact to move to, in this case to the RIGHT.................

He did that, says it didn't matter.

Bob is correct. I mistyped. The pistol is shooting left. He wants to move the POI RIGHT. Per FORS, move the rear sight RIGHT (same), the SAME direction you wish to correct POI.

Sorry.

I just traded into a SA Loaded model that does the same thing. Shoots a nice tight group, with all shots grouping at 9 o'clock. I'm going to have the sights replaced, as the tritium in them is dead anyway.

I had the same problem with my Loaded...low and left. The told me I'd be without the gun for a month, but turnaround was something like ten or eleven days, and it was dead on when I got it back.

Ask the bad guy very nicely if he wouldn't mind moving over a few inches. "There, that should do it. Thanks." BANG BANG
