Quoted: As mentioned b4 it could very well be you and not the gun if you had to adjust the sites on your 1911 also.

I put a higher sight on it because it was shooting low. For more than just me. It is a common problem with springfields. I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. With the beretta I'm not so sure. But after floating it, it did help my POI be more centered. You may be right though.
It kind of seems like you're saying every pistol that comes out of every factory will be totally zero'd with whatever ammo you're shooting. I have a hard time with that. For example. When I shot Federal 185 HP's it raised it to a much better poi, pretty much right on. But I knew I wasn't going to be shoothing that regularily. Any of the 230 grain FMJ stuff was 6-8" low at 25 yards. So I opted for a taller rear sight to zero with ammo I'd probably be shooting 90% of the time.
Now, this beretta is a whole different ball game. When I shot it free hand it seemed to shoot low and left. When I benched it, it wasn't low but it was still left. Now that could be me. But I also had a friend try it and he know's pistols pretty good and he was doing the same thing. It could very well possibly be us. But at this point, I floated it.
But beyond all that, you didn't educate me on how a gunsmith does it differently. If there is some reason that moving it is not the proper thing to do, I would like to hear why you think that is. I mean that.
