Make a gun shoot straight..

[Bob Sanders]

I hit what I aim at, aim being the operative word here. My XDm shoots to the left. And no, it's not me. I've benched it and had an experienced XDm shooter try it out. So, in my inexperience, instead of sending it in, I drifted the rear sight and shot the hell out of it. But, there is one niggling problem. It doesn't point naturally straight now, and I have to adjust ever so much to align the sights. Plus, with the sights lined up, if I look over the slide, it is pointed to the right. Question is, is it possible to tune this pistol to shoot close to my natural point of aim? Or am I all wet?

How in love are you with factory warranty?

If it was a pistol with grip panels.. we might shave one or thicken the other to shift the frame

Glocks can get surgery (grip reduction). Has anyone done a xD?

take some of the drift out of the rear sight that you gave it, and split the difference by knocking the front sight over the opposite way.

Ive never done anything to a frame to adjust npa. If its off bad enough for it to slow you down from acquiring your sights, then its a no -go and the root issue should be fixed. -which would be a misalignment or machining error of the barrel and slide.

Doing that to the front sight should get your gun usable again

I was hoping something like that would work. It's just enough that it bothers me. So, XDm front sight, a drift and 8 or 12 pound sledge?

Better use the 15lb sledge. They send things pretty tight from the factory.

If you can move them at all you are doing better than me. I tried to change the sights on my wife's XD and stopped before I destroyed the sight tool.

havent f-ed up a set of xd sights in 7 years. proper application of force.
