    Hitting Left - Adjustment Question

    Use a good bench rest and shoot 5 shot groups at same POA. Make sure your trigger pull is smooth and straight back. Check your groups and compare them to your POA. Only then will you know whether it's a sight adjustment or a self adjustment.

    It's important to do use a calculation method to determine accurately the actual exposure to your ears.

    Converted my Shield .40 to 9mm

    Beat the system. The fat cats are out to take advantage of us all. Their exotic scheme to sell us pistols in different calibers without revealing to us the ability to exchange parts all for the purpose of protecting their revenue and preventing us from getting two for the price of one.
