Ammo doesn't seem to make any difference. If you look closely at the pic you can see the barrel to slide geometry orients the barrel pointing low. It seems to be seating in the slide deeply at the rear. Thanks for the reply. As a shooter I really appreciate the steel frame and the stability it gives taming recoil. It is not my target pistol but kind of annoying the sights are so far off.
Lots of 1911’s appear that way, for it to have that kind of wear, there would have to be thousands of rounds through it. Going to throw some things at you, how do you hold the gun, do you jerk the trigger, (I still do this at times, I have been shooting 1911’s for 30+ years) these are not meant to tick you off or anything, just trying to eliminate things, also have you tried resting gun on a bench and see how it shoots?
Not offended at all, I've eliminated jerk and trigger input, bench resting and slow squeezing and letting the shot be a surprise. I've put hundreds of rounds through it. I've adjusted the windage and can be on target with the front sight poking up halfway over the rear sight box. A taller rear iron sight would fix this.
It was a used gun, My wife got it for a X-mas gift for me because I liked my fathers so much. If I google the type of gun I can find pics of my serial # gun as sold in at least 3 places. lol It had always shot like this.
Ok, get ahold of xdman here, he may be able to assist you in which sights fit your gun
That's a start for the info I will need. Where is a good place to look for rear "Colt GI" sights in a taller profile?
Never mind found a dozen places to find higher profile sights for my pistol. Thanks for the info.
My father has one and After a day at the range I knew I needed one too. A micro compact in 45 seemed like it would be a handfull but the steel frame reduces recoil and is easy to control. While not my target gun it has a place as a. EDC.
