rear sight adjustment on 629-1

[geddylee10002000]

I recently purchased a 629-1 4" and have been having a bit of a time sighting it in. I ran out of adjustment and still want the POI to move the right about 3 inches. Do I need a different sight blade? Or would a person just make a mental note to use Kentucky windage when shooting it. The range is 25 yards. It isn't a real pleasant gun to shoot all day long with 240 full house mags.

No offense intended, but?

At this point what you need to do is have three shooters off of the bench fire three rounds each at one target, all using the same ammo, at the same distance and without any further sight adjustments! The two shooters should be known to you to be good shooters, the third being yourself. See where the rounds land for each of the others. Theoretically, all 3 groups of three shots should be on top of one another if it's a gun related problem? If the two shooters rounds are landing on top of one another, and yours are a couple of furlongs away? Well, that points you in a different direction.

When you say "off the Bench" you are speaking of shooting off sand bags or something similar right? I hope!

I am shooting off of sandbags. I will grab two other shooters whom I trust to give it a whirl. Thanks for the advice! I have developed a flinch after about 75 shots. I will get over it. I have loaded a couple of cylinders randomly and I don't pull the shot. Pretty smooth.
