I have a new FS 9mm 320 with factory installed night sights I’ve put about 500 rounds through it split between 124gr and 147gr ammo.

The pistol consistently low left when using 6 o’clock hold or a combat hold.

For those with more experience on the 320, can this be corrected with upgraded sights?

I’m looking for po/poi with 147gr ammo for USPSA and 3Gun.

Grateful for any advice.

Well 6 o'clock and combat are just about complete opposites. Add to it, low left is 98.26% of the time the shooter.

Have someone else shoot it to see if the results are replicated.

Try putting more finger on the trigger. You may not be pulling the trigger straight back.

Use a rest before you start blaming the gun.

Lots of internet wisdom about the common low left phenomenon for right handed shooters. I tried changing my finger position, but strengthening my off hand grip seemed to make the difference for me. Lots of folks think its a Glock problem, but I had it worse with a 229.

I disagree. It is 98.961 percent of the time it’s the shooter. And I’m
Guessing the OP is right handed.

I'm one of the ninety eight percent. My misses at a steel shoot the other night were left (and low) with a G34. Yesterday at the range on paper, grouping tended toward left of center, as usual, and it's not the pistol. It's me.

When I shot the P320, though, everything was right on the bullseye, but a bit high. I put the bullseye on top of the sight, and everything went on the bullseye. Speed up the shooting a bit, the grouping opened up, and some of it went low left again. A shooter issue. Slow down, take time, and everything went in a ragged hole; that's the pistol. Everything else, was me.

Check your sights, too. I've had a few that were drifted to one side.

Let someone else shoot the pistol. Fire it off a rest. See what it's actually doing. Experiment with finger placement, and dry fire a lot.

To expand on this...

Re-center the sights, if they're noticeably off. (Possible, though unlikely.)

But don't drift the sights to try to adjust for shooter error. Correct the shooter error. And as mentioned, almost all cases of shooting low/left are shooter error, caused by some dysfunction in the shooter's grip/stance/sight alignment/trigger pull.

Shoot with the other hand. See what becomes of the impact point vs. point of aim. If it changes, there's your answer.
