M&P 9 sight issues

[christopher002600]

I noticed that the front sight was not dead center on the slide, It was off maybe .0015 to the right side as you look down the barrel and the rear sight was dead center took it out for first time "break in period" and I noticed it was hitting low to the right. Now I am a left hand shooter so I know i am not pulling/ jerking the trigger. I adjusted the rear sight as far over to the left side as I could an still hitting to the right so I adjusted the front sight to the right so not its off center to .003--.004 will and is hitting center at 7 yards. Now my question will the accuracy be different at lets say 25, 50 yards? Something doesn't seem right need some help.

Right handed shooters commonly hit low left with the M&P when they are first getting used to the grip/trigger/whatever.

How many rounds have you put down range? If you are an experienced shooter wait to put about 250 rounds down range before you do any crazy adjustments.

Also when was your M&P born? There should be a date somewhere. It could help others provide information.

Another question... are you a Glock guy?

First off I an not a glock guy... The gun is was born april or may of this year... it has 150 rounds though it no problems. 50 round boxes of all different types of ammo. I noticed the trigger bar also dragging on the top of the side. trigger is someone what gritty and it is in the striker plunger. Pulled it out and tried cleaning up the hole for burns but I still think there is one there still same step feeling when you glide over striker. Did now mean to get way off the sights issues but this is all some issues I was going to adress down the road.

The best way to determine if it's the gun or the shooter is to shoot it from a solid mount, that takes the shooter out of the equation. If this isn't available have someone else shoot it (preferably an experienced shooter) and compare the results. There are a lot of variables involved so removing (or changing) the human ones is the most revealing.
