Both of my Shields shot left for me out of the box........So I tapped the front sights a little to the left and now they are dead on. No need for the complicated messes above.

These grips are not good for all pistols or dare I say it, revolvers. I'm sure that they work well for many plastic full size pistols and these fellows make good use of it. I wonder just how many rapid follow up shots are needed in a real defensive situation? What is the purpose in the non-gaming world of shooting several shots in a second or so? One or two well-placed shot(s) is still king IMHO involving excellent trigger control. Most average guys and gals, who I see at the range, haven't developed basic marksmanship fundamentals and can't hit anything beyond spitting distances. It's kinda like the driving instructor who puts the student driver on the Indy Speedway before they have learned how to keep the vehicle between the ditches on the road. Meanwhile back to "left shooting", if one has developed skills and can actually shoot a group, Mike SC Hunter has the solution. Why else put moveable (adjustable) sights on a gun?

if you’re cranking the gun to the left as the sear breaks,....yep....you can adjust the sights accordingly

but when you’re skills improve, you’re sights will then become maladjusted

the correct answer is —-align the sights on target and keep them there by pressing the trigger STRAIGHT BACK

get some training....preferably from a USPSA GM level shooter

and dryfire dryfire dryfire dryfire

WRONG! That's what sights are adjustable for........For each person's hold and vision.........Why in the heck would I want use Kentucky windage? You are totally off track. Make the gun fit the shooter---Not the shooter fit the gun.
