Probably asked 1000 times but I have noticed I shoot my 365 legion just slightly off center, do I adjust the front or rear site or both? and which direction let's say I shoot to the left? I don't have a sight tool so I might need to buy one of those too. Thanks!!

Move the rear slightly right.
(front - opposite)
If both sights look centered, maybe check your grip to make sure it’s allowing you to pull the trigger straight back with that size pistol.

Move the rear sight in the same direction you want the hits to move.

If my sights are centered, and I'm shooting right or left, I always give it another try in the off hand. If its still off in the same direction, I adjust the gun, if its shooting the opposite side, I adjust me.

You can adjust either, but the rear sight is easier to adjust. It's easier to push, and the same amount you move a front sight will make a bigger difference in POI than in the rear sight. In other words, it's easier to fine tune your POI by pushing the rear sight.

I use sight pushing tools, but a lot guys still swear by vises, mallets, & brass punches.

If you don’t want/need to invest in a sight pusher tool you can use these: https://www.amazon.com/Miaozhu...HK/ref=sr_1_2?sr=8-2

I used them to swap into night sights on my Glock 19, worked fine just takes some concentration and accurate hammer hitting. And you do need a vise or something that will hold the slide securely because it takes a lot more force than you might think to move the sights.

Great advice here, Thanks Everyone.

I'm going to call you out on your statement that moving the front sight the same offset amount versus the rear results in a greater change in poi. Basic geometry mathematics says otherwise. So what are we missing here ? Maybe you actually meant to communicate something different.

It's easy to blame the sights.

Just about every student I've ever worked with that was struggling to hit the bullseye immediately assumed that their pistol's sights needed adjusted.

Very (very) few of them actually did. Most of the time, it's the shooter, not the gun.

Especially when it's a right-handed shooter saying their gun is shooting to the left. A majority of the grip and trigger input errors for a right-handed shooter will cause their impacts to shift to the left, and often down and to the left.

So shoot it with your off hand. Shoot it from a benchrest. Let others shoot it. Then and only then look at adjusting the sights, if it really truly is the sights and not the shooter.

Had the same issue when I first started shooting Glock. Impact always to the left. Turns out using only the tip of my trigger finger as I was accustomed to on my P228 was pushing the impact left. Put more finger on the trigger, bam, dead center.

Try some dry fire and experiment with finger position and grip. Watch the front sight through the trigger pull and see if it moves.

I’ve seen exactly one pistol that needed its sights moved. My buddy had bought a used PPK. I shot it and it was consistently off to the right. Real nice group, 3” to the right at only 7 yards.

I looked at the sights, and they weren’t centered. Which means the previous owner had moved the sights to account for his poor technique. Got them back to center and the pistol was perfect. Well, aside from the slide bite.

My point is, OP, you should bench it and have another competent shooter verify the issue. Otherwise, if it’s actually you, when you actually do things right, the pistol will be off. Not saying it’s impossible that it’s the pistol, just that you should quadruple check first.
