My Uberti Bisley is shooting about 3 inches left at 10 yards.  Is there an easy fix, or should I just use Kentucky windage?

Thanks,

If you shoot right handed do your other pistols also shoot to the left?
A lot of people who use too much of their finger on the trigger have a tendency to push the barrel to the left.

I would first try shooting off a rest with jus the pad of the finger tip on the trigger to see if the gun shoots correctly left and right.

If the techique is good, windage adjustment on a fixed sight pistol is not easy.  One technique generally left to skilled smiths is re-indexing the barrel.  The end result is the front sights will cant toward where the pistol is shooting causing the bullets to strike in the opposit direction.

The other option is widening the rear sight notch by removing material on the side you want the bullet to move toward.

If technique is not an issue perhaps aiming a half target to the right may be the simplest solution.

prety much boils down to the only easy fix is if the problem is with the shooters technique.  Fix the problem of pushing and all should be well.
