Anyone know a good shop to adjust USP sights?

[Gino z32]

Before anyone asks, yes it is the pistol and not my shooting. To confirm this I also handed the gun off to two other people and they all had the same issues: The gun shoots way left and low, and not in a trigger jerk/recoil anticipation manner.

Ever since I got the gun (police trade in) it has been shooting way off. With my Beretta 96 I can blow the red out of a target from 25 yards without even trying, slap the USP in my hands and its low left 24/7. At the range yesterday I finally decided to go back to the basic fundamentals with the USP and make sure everything checked out before attributing it to the gun, and its definitely the gun. I handed it off to my brother, who again with the Beretta was having the bullets go right where he was aiming, and he was having the same issue. I finally figured out how aim to the pistol to hit where you want it, and it's not pretty...

That is how I have to hold the sight picture to hit where I am aiming with the USP. I drew a picture like that at the range, showed it to my brother and told him to aim like that and see what happens, and bam bullseye first shot after hitting low/left all day before that.

So who here knows a good shop/person to take it to to have it checked out/adjusted? The USP is a 9mm USP, LEM, jet funnel, and night sights.
Thanks guys!

As an alternative, you can always buy the tool and do it yourself. I found them to be another great tool to have in the inventory if you can find them not backordered.

Brass punch and a hammer might be a little abusive if you don't have good mechanical dexterity.

Yea I was thinking about that as well, I guess the best way would just be adjust a little at at time at the range until its on point? But I figure if a shop would do it for like 10 or 20, that saves $90+ for this one time. But like you said, If I ever plan on changing out sights or anything it would be nice to have

Just an FYI - I ordered one of the home made jobs for $44 (including shipping) from DAFISH. It looks exactly as pictured in the photos and video. Much cheaper alternative than any multi-gun sight tool I have found available.

I have not used it yet, but the guy is legit if you choose to go that route.

Brass drift here.
This gives you the abbility to make minor adjustments at the range.
Have it set at a gun shop. May still need minor adjustment afterwards.

Sight tool

$44 shipped

Here is the one I make, pics are of a Glock rear, and 1911 front sight.

Drifting the sight wont help the elevation issue. It need adjustable sights fo fix that.

There could be issues with the gun. A worn locking Block, Slide or Barrel will change POA/POI

Nice work. How does it work for elevation? I'm not trying to be funny, but really - we know you make these and I applaud the craftmanship but go easy there tiger.
