Buster - "THE SENILITY PRAYER
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway; the good fortune to run into the ones I do; and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Just for the
hell of it

First thing to do is make sure it's the gun and not you. Many people think their sights are off and it turns out to be the shooter. The sights can be adjusted with a sight tool made for you Sig or a simple drift punch and hammer. To make small adjustments a hammer and punch work fine. Just make sure you know what your doing to prevent damage to your gun.

I agree. Have someone else shoot your gun first. |

I don't know your level of experience, but this is extremely common. Shooting techniques and different lighting conditions can easily affect left/right ("windage") point of impact by that much. What size groups are you shooting at 25 feet?
“Most men … can seldom accept the simplest and most obvious truth if it … would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions … which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabrics of their lives.”

3" off at 25 feet (I read this first as yards) is about a 0.06" sight adjustment. Or a little more than the thickness of a penny. This also represents about the the amount of light showing on one side of the front sight post when viewed thru the rear sight and the front sight misaligned to one side, but still in the notch. Hope that made sense. This could easily be a sighting error but is easy to correct in any event. You can use a penny as a gage for moving the rear sight.
If not corrected you'll be 9" off at 25 yards. The pistol should be zeroed at that range if for no other reason than magnifying your sighting errors and the physical placement of the sights.
