Way off sights

#1

Post by Maxwell »

I purchased an M&P 22 and cannot get the sights to line up. At ~30ft it shots high and left by about 10 inches. I've tried working the sights but they are still way off of center. I think the barrel was mounted off center. Should I send it back to S&W or take it to a gunsmith?

Thoughts?

Without knowing your skill level, are you sure it isn't operator error? If not operator error, contact Smith & Wesson. See if there are any issues within that serial number range. Get their directive. But I wouldn't take it to a gunsmith to start, especially if is almost brand new. Use the manufacturer warranty.
