Anyone know a gun smith in MD capable of drifting and sighting in this pistol? I called Sig - the only thing they do is install new sights. Thanks.
Where are you located?
You'd be better off buying a sight alignment tool for probably 50 bucks and do it yourself next time at the range. That way you can always do it. And you will be sighting it in with your own grip.
Makes sense. Videos, however, suggest slide needs to be in a vice. With me, if something can go wrong it usually does.
A sight removal tool is the whole tool to do the work. Putting a slide in a vice and tapping it out is so old school
If you choose to have a gunsmith do this, I would think any reputable gunsmith would be capable. A few years back I had Hanover Armory install a set of tritium sights on a Shield and they did a good job.
This is what I use. 40 bucks.Looks like the Maryland Gun Works sight drifter is the go-to item. Steep price though.

I'd first start out with my stance. Adjust that way.So do you recommend adjusting the rear sight to compensate for a shooters natural bias. I may not be using that term correctly, but I saw you comment on a new shooters target photo that he was left handed because his shot grouping was slightly low and to the right.
I’m right handed so my groups tend to all be slightly low and to the left. Would you just push the rear sight slightly to the right?

A person could have the best grip, sight alignment, and trigger press, but if there is something natural about your body that won't allow your 2 handed press perfectly perpendicular from your faced front, then compensate. I dunno, for example if someone has a screwed up elbow and one side is shorter the body has to move. You can't move a sight far enough to make that compensation.
I've always said that you have to master the basics first before you can not use them in order to get into advanced shooting.
It's ok to have a shitty stance if your grip and sight alignment is spot on, etc...
I'd push the sight of I knew my body wasn't the problem. But yeah, oh the sight to the side you want the round to go.
Also, in the chase of perfection, people like to "shoot the group" instead of the bullseye. Don't shoot where that first off round went in order to make a pretty little hole.
I’m sure that I still have a lot of improvements to make in all of those areas you noted specifically because I see the issue more pronounced with some pistols more than others.
On a lighter note I was thinking maybe I should start a “Dear Blaster” thread. Sort of like the old Dear Abby column in the paper.
Usually the problem is grip and shooting too fast. People get better when I have them load 1 round at a time. By default, you HAVE to slow down. Aiming in too long waiting for the perfect aim is a killer too.

People can't always shoot off a rest. Shooting off a rest doesn't tell you what you need to do to improve. Very rarely are sights even an issue. It's 99.9% operator error.Try shooting off a rest to get your zero.
