Rear sight shift
Does anyone ever have their (factory standard) rear sight accidentally/unknowingly shifted for whatever reason?
Can this happen under normal operating condition ie. pistol not used as bludgeoning object, not bumped around, just strictly range gun???
Shot a match. During practice, got ~4 seconds for plates at 11 yards. Then during match, the time went south to 10 seconds+ with 2 plates left!!! Also shots beyond 15 yards went bananas. Noticed consistent left pattern despite perfect shot-calls. Immediately blamed self for limp wristing and learnt that 1000 dry fire cannot replace 100 live fire (wrist not used to recoil even though highly conditioned by exercise). Then the practice range RO noticed the rear sight is off, as in obviously way off to the side. Took few trips to armory to get it hit dead center again. The armory folks said recoil can shift the rear sight (huh??!?!). Pistol is G34. I thought this brand should be near indestructible
