My SR9 shoots low

[mralberta]

My SR9 seems to shoot low, even at 10 yards. Does anyone else notice this?

I pull out the GP100 and it shoots where I aim it. Is this a normal trait for a SA, shooting low?

Doesn't the SR9 have adjustable sights?

The SR9 Certainly does.

Revolver shooting is easlier than the pistol, better have someone try it out.

What ammo are you using? It does make a difference.

That said, my SR9 was shooting low no matter what ammo I used so I adjusted the rear sight and now it's bang on.

Im using Blazer, 115gr. Which direction on the rear sight would raise my shot? CW or CCW?

Raise the rear sight. Should turn the adjustment screw CW

Thanks for the help! Was going to hit the range this morning but the in-laws showed up.......

Have someone else shoot it before you start messing with the sights. I would be more included to believe that you're snapping the trigger a little and throwing your shots low.

Sights are not factory adjusted. Adjust them to suit you, the distance and the ammo.

Just aim higher
Sorry man, someone had to say it

Sounds like a nad shooter. Don't piss off your wife.

LOL, I wanted her to strip it down (the SR9....), she couldnt even lock the action open.....

Shes still mad at me for letting her shoot my PA459.....

how low is it shooting?

 

[mralberta]

how low is it shooting?

If I am aiming straight at the center of the target from 10 yrds, it would be shooting about 6 inches low. (Apporx)

couple options then
1)you are using 6 o'clock hold and should be using a covering hold
2)bad trigger pull
3)the most out of alignment sights ever

try shooting it from a rest and someone else shoot it (who you know is good) if it is still shooting low in both those then sights are off, otherwise its option 1 or 2
(with my m&p, its option 2 lol)

Thanks for the help, hopefully will be down at the range on Sunday to give it some tweaks.

Maybe shooting it upside down will fix the issue?
