New 92FS shoots left

[BJMANIS]

Need a quick fix. Don't want to send it back.

I know, KY windage always works.

How much left? Are you sure its the gun and not you?

 

[BJMANIS]

About 2.5 inches

could be not enough trigger finger. shooting off a rest so there is no wiggle.

Without knowing anything of your shooting skills, how much training and practice you do, etc. I'm going to guess it's your trigger pull. You can test this by having some other shooters run some rounds through yours. After that, you can tell if you do in deed need to drift your rear sight to the right.

Also, at what yardage was this? I did not have the same gun, so sight distances are probably different, but 2.5" didn't take much movement at the rear sight.

Put some snap caps in and have a buddy watch you. You are likely just pulling it.

If that's all thats wrong, you won't have to send back ! In worse case, you might have to drift the rear site a little. I would do that only at a last resort and only once you verify it's not you not being used to a new gun.

Must be my problem. When mine genuinely shot left, we drifted the rear to the left to compensate. Moving rear to the left will make POA go right.
.

Maybe if using a mirror to shoot behind you... Even then, I'm not sure that would be true. A easy way to remember which way to drift the rear site is you want the site to go same direction as your bullet... In the OP's case, he's shooting left so he would drift his site right... the same direction he wants the bullet to go.

I should have been more specific in my post. No coffee yet, kids and wife talking in my ears. But yes, as stated above, you want to more your rear sight in the direction you want to move your bullets. I'm still guessing it's is his trigger pull. I'm not the most accurate shooter in the world, and I can tell when I start slapping at the trigger, my rounds start moving down and to the left. Been there, done it, got the infamous t-shirt!

25 yards off a Caldwell rest (not the best, but eliminates the wobble) It is probably mine. Not enough finger on the trigger.

Thanks for all the feed back

Are you planning on using it for competitive shooting? Self defense? Plinking?

If you plan on using it for anything other than competitive shooting sports, I really wouldn't worry about 2.5 inches at 25 yards.

I pull all mine left. Have to talk myself out of it or compensate.

generally, bad trigger control and/or grip leads to shooting low and left....make sure grip high and squeeze tight..you can play with different positioning....another trick is to balance a quarter on top of rear sight while you dry fire if it falls you are jerking it..but this probably wouldnt be possible with 92 sights

 

[INMIline]

Have you had someone else shoot it yet?

My first handgun purchase was a 92F back in 1990 or so. It to seemed to pull left and slightly down. All these years later, it doesn't. It was all me. The 92F is a big pistol and requires (in my case) both hands wrapped around the grip for good groups.

Doh, I completely misread that. And typed a completely incorrect response. Pay no attention to what I typed earlier. I had the mental image of pushing the sight over from the left (meaning pushing to the right) and typed something all wrong. Wow, I fubar'ed that.

Please don't call Beretta complaining that your 92 shoots 2.5 inches off at 25 yards.

A pistol is not really designed for those distances, and in fact if the worst happened and you did have to use your pistol at 25 yards, being off 2.5 inches will not make much difference if you aim "center of mass".

In fact, if you did need a pistol at those distances, you should be using it as a way to get to your rifle.

Just my silly Beretta loving 2 cents.

 

[BJMANIS]

Thanks for all the suggestions and feed back. if it were low left I know it would be me, but it is just left. I'll work on the trigger finger.

I had similar issue with a different firearm; I also own the 92FS M9A1, you could also be anticipating the recoil, I would suggest after shooting an entire mag try dry firing a few times keeping the recoil in mind. When I did this I found out I was moving the firearm.
