Sight adjustment

[jaberegg]

Picked up a Sig P 239 in 9mm, it's everything I've heard or read about. Only problem it shoots to the left. What's the best way to adjust the fixed sights, move the front or the rear? Thanks.

Welcome to the Sig forum on Graybeard!

Ok.  Hard question first.  Have you had anyone else try the gun.  I know I have a leftward flinch that I've been fighting and always have some of the better shooters that I know try my pistols before I adjust the sights.

That being said.  You'll need to drift the rear sight to the right.  Only adjust the front sight if it is obviously off-center of the slide.  Most sigs have a centering spot on the slide that serves as a pretty good guide.  My P245 had one, I can't remember if my P239 has one or not.  

Congrats on picking up one fine pistol!

Hope this helps,

No one else has shot the pistol. I sight them in for me. Put over a hundred through it the other night getting use to it, both off-hand an on the bench with sandbags. Yesterday I did the same thing, still shot to the left so started moving the rear sight to the right............ after the 8th try it was now shooting way right. It was back and forth until it is now just to the left of point of aim at 37 yards. I will leave it there until I decide it's not good enough then try moving it again.
