Fixed sight shoots left??

[y2k]

I was wondering what a guy should do if his fixed sight weapon shoots too far to one side? In my Case with a Single action

You will either have to file one side of your rear sight "groove" a little wider if it only shoots left a little. If not, you will have to have your bbl turned into the frame to move the frront sight over.

Remember when using a file, a little goes a long way.
Best, cheapsk8

what kind of gun is this? can't you just move the rear sight? (nylon punch?)

Nope, Fixed sight single action Colt

Sometimes the front blade can be very carefully bent to adjust the sighting.

Just wondering , do you close one eye to shoot ?

If you do which is your dominant eye ?

Do the thumb test and determine which is dominant and or shoot with both opened.

Hope this helps

It could be you. I have also heard guys say if your fixed-sight gun shoots left, then aim over to the right.

Personally I like the bullets to go where I'm aiming.

I think I would have the barrel turned before I filed anything.
Shoot a target from a rest and take it with you to your 'smith.
I had good luck that way on my SA.
