so ive read a few threads about front sights being off center, how much off center is it for people? I checked my sight today, and it does seem off to the right, but is it enough to throw off the accuracy a lot? I dont have any armorers tools so I cant really drift the sights myself, any suggestions on what to do?

Maybe you can adjust windage on the rear sights to compensate? Otherwise, take it to a smith. How far to the right does it throw your shots?



What revision do you have? M or N?

 

[jeri534]

revision N, I havent shot the gun yet, I should probably do that first.

 

[Fallschirmjäger]

Shooting...and finding out where it shoots is probably a good thing to do before doing any adjustments to the sights.

The front sight being to the right will result in hits to the left. I would shoot the gun first to see where it's hitting.

My new Rev N (bought it 2 weeks ago) had the front sight offset noticably to the right. It shot abuot 2" left at 25yds. Had my local smith calculate the amount necessary to get the groups centered and drift it over. It ended up almost perfectly centered. MadMarcus

I looked at my sights last night and they are more to the right as well. Maybe that is part of the reason that I am shooting low left.

 

[darklyte24]

you arent the only one, we had quite a few threads a few months back about this.. mine is also to the right just a bit

I talked to Smith about this issue. Apparently they're aware of it. A whole batch of M&P's got off the production line due to a glitch in quality control.



The guy checking the front sights has been reassigned.

 

[Eddo36]

Along what serial number is this batch? Not the MPE5xxx I hope.

After watching Todd Jarrett's 4 minute video I caught some of the mistakes that would possibly cause my groups to be low and to the left. I am hitting the range this weekend to verify however, I would hate to have a bad batch of weapons on the market.

I wouldn`t exactly say the sights being off a little bit makes them "bad weapons". I still had no problem at all hitting 6" round swinging targets every time at 25yds. I`ve had guns made by other manufacturers whos sights were as far or further off. I`m sure Smith will correct it in short order. MadMarcus

heres my targets at 5 yards, should I adjust the sights at all?

 

[greener]

The front sight on mine (MPFXXXX) was off-center to the right. I shot it, it shot left. It also shot low. After shooting it a while, I decided that it wasn't the shooter who was 2" left and 4-6" low and sent it back to S&W. The pistol was returned with a shorter and centered front sight.

5 yards???, I have been firing at 25 meters... I guess I will try my groups at 5 meters and see what will happen. I feel sooooooooooo stupid...
