    Need to adjust the rear sight (left-right) on my Ruger GP 100 357. What size screwdriver fits this and where can i get one without buying the entire set?

    One think a lot of semiauto shooters will do with a revolver is grip it the same way they do their semi auto pistols. ( thumbs forward)

    This is a little unnatural on a revolver and a lot of students I have had shoot low and left with them.

    Are you shooting it from a sandbag in single action?

    Is it new or used?

    Do you shoot revolver a lot?
    Single action. Started with 6 shots at 7 yards and another 6 on a fresh target at 15 yards. It's a new gun and I'm pretty accurate with a revolver.

    That makes perfect sense

    Try it sandbagged from those distances, on single action.

    I haven’t had a Ruger revolver come with dud sights yet( although the sights on the newer 10/22s do suck mightily)

    Consistently low & left is almost ALWAYS caused by flinching. Get a buddy to load the gun for you, alternating with some emptys & live rounds. When you come up on the empty you will KNOW. I've seen where the gun almost jumps out of the shooters hand when hammer falls on that empty!

    i held back too for awhile, but absent an actual needed sight adjustment he's flinching. the unknown empty as described is the oldest/best way to prove it, and get over it.
