Default Sight Adjustment

Went out and put 400 flawless rounds through the VBOB today. Only complaint is it shoots a little left.

Anyone know how to adjust the windage on this pistol? Do I need a sight tool?

They are Heine, it says Trijicon on side of rear sight?

A sight pusher will make adjustment more accurate and easier, but you can use a hammer and punch to drift the sight if that's all you have.

Do you need to take the screw out of the sight, or just loosen it?

Just loosen it a bit. It doesn't go into the slide, just presses against the dovetail flat to keep the sight in place.

If my experience is any example, you may not need one.

I discovered the rear sight had come loose on my V-Bob. In fact, I was able to slip it all the way out the left side of the slide.

After I put it back in, it tightened right up with the allen screw.
