Gun shooting to the left

[Wildcard91]

Spent the day at the range with my Norc 1911 commander. I noticed I was shooting 2-4" left @ 9 O'clock with the pistol with the sights centered. Groupings were otherwise fairly tight at 10- 15 yards.


Initially I thought it was flinching or incorrect trigger pull until three other people tried it out and shot the same results. After switching to another person's norc 1911 commander and trying one of the range officer's paras, I was consistently shooting the bull with both pistols.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be with my gun? Could it be incorrect barrel lug alignment?

The gun is fine, you just need to drift the sights a little to align where you're aiming with where the gun is shooting. Just the same as sighting in a rifle.

Try some different ammo. Otherwise, I'd be willing to bet a couple taps to the right side of the rear sight might be in order.

As said easy fix, many new handguns I`ve bought out of box are off, drift the rear sight slightly to adjust. BUT note best always to do this on a bag, not free stand, so you can shoot a few see the group and move from there.

I've tried drifting the sight, but I am still shooting left while the rear sight is to the right of the firing pin.

With the sight slot to the right of the firing pin.
But producing acceptable groups.

I might look at the barrel bushing, it may be off-center.
