With a crooked barrel you lose both vertical and horizontal accuracy when sighting. It's harder for your eyes and brain to line up and center the sights when they look like the ones on the right.
Send em all back that are canted in the slightest. A slightly offset front sight that is perfectly vertical would actually be the best thing if they are trying to compensate for barrel torque...people wouldn't like that though.
And to answer TS question if it's a problem. It's costing them sales and more $$ due to returns for re-work. So yes, it's a financial drain on the company. I constantly read about people looking over several factory new revolvers and all of them are crooked...no sale.
