Howdy guys.

  I am completely new at this so forgive my ignorance.  I have a USFA SAA and the sight at the end of the barrel is slightly tilted to the left.  Is this a normal thing to correct windage or just a flaw that needs to be corrected?  Given the quality of the USFA SAA, I would imagine this was not an oversight from the factory.

Thanks a bunch for the help. ???

How has the gun shot?  If it shoots to the point of aim it should be a factory adjustment, if the accuracy is off, send it back to them and they will make it right.  Turning the barrel is a typical adjustment for SAAs in general to correct windage.  Let us know how it turns out.

A properly sighted in SAA or any clone will amost always have the front sight slightly leaning to the left.  ;) Rejoice as you may not have to have the barrel turned or do other front sight measures!  :D

Well, thanks for the info.  I have only shot five rounds through it so far.  I just got it a few weeks ago and haven't had a good chance to hang up a target to check the accuracy.  I'm bettin' that it is fine.

I am sure I will have a lot more questions as time goes by.  My father in law is a gunsmith but his business consists mostly of deer hunters and bird hunters.  I hope to learn the ropes and someday have the shop when he is ready to quit. 

Thanks again.
