Default your favorite adjustable sights for the M&P

My M&P45 shoots low and to the left, not much, about 4 inches low and 2 inches left at 10 yards. I does this with bullet weights from 230 to 195. It's primary role is as a combat sidearm, I can drift the sights for windage but elevation is an issue. My question is for those who have put adjustable sights on your M&P which combat models do you prefer and why? Or, I could always put a lower sight up front.

Try shooting the gun from a sandbag rest. My best opinion is that your finger placement on the trigger needs to be adjusted, or you are "pushing" the gun in anticipation of recoil. The low left complaint is very common. You could do an internet search on the topic and have enough material to keep you reading for hours. As far as adjustable sights, check out Dawson Precision.

The M&P was never intended to be a precision firearm. As such, putting adjustable sights on it is superfluous.

Also, I agree with someguyfdl, the issue is probably trigger control.

Let me take a guess and see if I'm right. You are a right handed shooter and you got these results while standing? Am I right?
