I recently purchased a 380 conversion kit for a 365 9mm. My first trip to the range all my rounds grouped about 2 inches to the right of the bullseye on a 10 yard target. Elevation was perfect. I have had in the past quite a few Sig pistols, but never had one that needed a sight adjustment from the factory. The kit came complete with slide, barrel and magazine (very easy swap) The slide was complete with brand new night sights.

Please refresh my 78 year old memory and tell me: to move the point of impact to the left do I move the rear sight to the right or left?

I’m planning on bringing my pistol rest next range trip to see whether the results warrant a change before I start monkeying the sights. I hate moving sights! Thanks in advance and may God bless you

Move rear sight in the direction you want to move the strike of the bullet.

Thank you I thought that’s what it was I just wanted to be sure

And if you forget what Jhe said, just remember it conceptually.

You're holding the gun and the point of impact is to the right of the point of aim (you said you want the point of impact to move to the left).

Holding the gun right where it was, how would you rotate it so the sights align with the hole that is to the right of where you aimed? You'd rotate to the right. The front sight moves right and/or the rear sight moves left.

That works for up and down the same way.

I prefer this understanding vs. rote memorization.

Direction of correction.

A good thing to remember is FORS ( front opposite rear same) meaning if you need to adjust a front sight you move it opposite the direction you want the impact to move, for a rear the same direction

I actually like that concept/wording.
