And that's why I don't like adj sight handguns

[Purebred Redneck]

I've been trying to figure out why this new Smith and Wesson can't shoot any better than about 4-5" at 25 yards.

Well the damn rear sight ramp's about ready to fall off after 150 shots

The thing was good and tight from the factory. It looks like I'll have to superglue it like I did the Ruger

[jmarriott]

Be careful with the stainless screws they are brittle and can crack.

My FFL charges 15 dollars for a transfer fee. I will give you what you paid for the gun and shipping. This way you would only be out those bass pro points.

[jmarriott]

By the way use blue lock tite not superglue. It will be easier for me to remove.

[Purebred Redneck]

I used blue permatex and I'll let that cure.

That does explain why 2-3 shots would be within an inch of eachother and the other 2 completely random 4 inches away ;D
I'll give it a try next weekend and see if I can close those groups now that the sight is attached.

Grab some popcorn folks, were off and runing with the soga of Red & his S&W , also expect a ductape sequill on S&W repair & excessorys.

[twomoons]

So lets see, Red has a screw loose again? What RAMP on the REAR sight, you mean the sight base?

BOHICA

[Purebred Redneck]

Ramp...base...yeah.


The screw on the right is just the elevation screw.
What came loose was the screw on the left which screws into the frame and holds the sight in place.

Use to be those were locktighted at the factory.

I've been looking at some different forums, both ruger specific and smith specific. The general agreement from what I'm reading is that the S&W quality has really gone down hill and you're paying for the brand.

Sooooo a lighting is high quality after all, or at least pretty good lol. I keep thinking of 1/2" groups as to 4-1/2"..................................................................and the beat goes on

Would somebody please pass the popcorn. Were just starting to get to the good parts. Everyone quiet please.
I think this is the part where he takes a hammer to it to improve the shooting.
I can't wait till the end where he takes it back looking like it has been run over with a truck and asks for his money back. The person at the counter gets this really weird look on his face.
Its almost like the last saga but I think they change the props but keep the same actor's.



Best comedy show going.

I have thought that for years now, particularly the part about "you're paying for the brand". I've never had any problems with the sights falling off my cheapo Rugers.
