Classic POA left of center

[RandallZ]

Yes, your diagnosis is correct. Although, after 400-500 rounds the barrel may settle in a bit and start shooting more to the right from where it hits now. As far as hex wrench size...I dunno how many 32nds or 64ths it is, but I do know it was exactly the size of the wrench included in the cases of my CBOB and PM7. Did you look to see if you got one, too?

No hex wrench in mine. Just the bushing wrench & some oil, along with the papers & fired brass.

I plan to go to the range tomorrow and shoot from a rested position just to make sure It wasn't me having a really bad day.

I got a tip from someone at 1911forum to buy U.S. made hex wrenches and give it a try. The 1/16 wrench did the trick and got the set screw loose.

I'm awaiting a sight pusher that I got from a member at 1911forum.com It looks like it's built well & members that have one already said it works great. Check it out.

Hey buddy, give the bench rest shooting a go. Also, have you seen this?



Not saying that your sights may or may not be off, but I too have a tendancy to shoot to the left of center.

Hey Skosh

I took my gun to the range today after drifting the rear sight to the right using EPJ's sight pusher. Worked like a charm! It's centered now. I got to the range and set up my target at 7 yards loaded my mags and went for it. Problem fixed. My POA was pretty much where the POI was. I'm happier with the guns performance today, although not satisfied.

This happened next...

After 100 rounds down range I started to have the same problem again. My POI was off again to the left of center? I looked at the rear sight and it walked itself back to it's original position. It's noticeably to the left again. BTW I did tighten the set screw....any ideas guys?

If your sights are drifting off on their own, you may want to put a dab of locktite under the sight. That should hold it in place.

I did plan to do that. I just wanted to make sure before hand that the rear sight was in a good spot before doing so. I didn't want to set myself up to wrestle it loose again if I needed to move the rear sight again.

Is this common by any chance?
