My shield shot to the left also. I am convinced you should adjust the front sight as they say. My Son and I worked half an hour or so trying to drive the sight. I am convinced it has to be moved by a press and not a punch. I called S & W and told them about the problem.. They mailed me a box...
My shield shot to the left also. Called S & W and told them about it. They sent me a box to ship it paid the freight both ways and had it back in just a few days.
Would like to see and handle the Rock Island 1911 Tactical FS and maybe some of their other models. I am going to purchase a 1911 as soon as I can decide which one I want. From what I have seen and read here today the Rock Island might suite me and save me some money.
