BG 2.0, eating some crow!

[BLLefkay]

I've got to eat some crow! I've been shooting 2 1/2 years now, mainly micros and my misses are typically left as a newbie - I blame stock 5, 6lb trigger pulls as my issue, anyway. When I see folks complain about low left on their new gun and they change or adjust sights, I laugh. I took my BG 2.0 to an indoor range today to shoot another 200 rounds, 500 total now, got gun yesterday. I invited the gunsmith to shoot my gun because I knew he was a big LCP Max dude. He set target at 10 yards, shot 10 rounds rapid, 2 inch groupings, 4" left of bull. He took gun to shop, knocked front sight left and came back. He shot another 10 rapid rounds, still 2" left of center. He then knocked rear sight to right and gun was shooting center. He moved target to 25 yards, shot rapid again and hit 6 out of 10 silhouetted head shots (3x5" size in target we were using). Great shooter, better than I and lesson learned, sometimes it is the arrow, crazy! Oh by the way, he's getting a BG now, lol!

An old range officer trick with a shooter that simply could not be taught to shoot properly, is to adjust the sights to coincide with the shooter's error. Saved time and aggravation all around.

Just sayin'

Did he shoot from a bench with the gun fixed?

LOL, was just thinking the same thing.

Nope and I haven't bench shot the gun either BUT I'm in the honeymoon period at day 2. I'm use to shooting left and take responsibility for my lack of skills. I did notice that the range had a couple of vices setting on the tables there so it would be interesting to use it to verify his results. Thanks for the response, I'm a firm believer it's the Indian not the arrow 99% of the time.

Watch at the 3 min mark - 2 Bodyguards with 2 different people - both shooting left with the new Bodyguard:

What's funny is my shots were high left too per video. I had a FN Reflex which I shot left like all my micros and someone posted a video of gun shooting left in a vice, lol, tough to dispute that I guess. All I know is I'm shooting this gun straight at the moment at 15 yards and that's good enough - I will find out if it's me which I think or the sights eventually. By the way, I think all folks, even experienced, shoot micros left without practice.

Maybe this is the guy installing the sights?

lol, refreshing to see someone who believes most low left shooters are a result of fundamental issues and not the manufacturer however it does seems majority wise by internet responses that it's the latter.

I'm guilty of 'low left due to shooter' in the past, but my BG2.0's both shot left (w/no low) and the front sight was visibly right on both (and by the same amount). I even had a better shooter than myself try them, and they both shot left for him as well.

I too noted the front sight not centered and was shooting left not low. Asked gunsmith if it looked off center and he went medieval on sights, lol.

It makes me wonder how the manufacturers get it wrong. Is it their ammo, did they only use one example to determine sight alignment, did Marty (see above) and Murphy help out?

Add mine to the shoots left not low group . 3 different shooters, assorted ammo. Off hand or supported on a sand bag. Nice tight groups just all left.

I drifted the rear sight. Now shoots those tight groups dead center
