I'm treading carefully here as my PT1911 is my baby and I don't want to muck it up...
My rear sight was factory installed a little left of center (as viewed by the shooter), which cause me to shoot left of point of aim. I would like to drift it to center. I thought this would be easy. I planned to use the supplied allen wrench to unscrew the rear sight, tap it right, then screw it back in.
However, after removing the screw, I looked down the hole and it appears if I drift the sight, then the hole in the sight will not longer line up with the hole in the slide, which means I will not be able to put the screw back in!
So, was my screw hole drilled left of center? Am I stuck or am I missing something? Any ideas on how to drift my rear sight to center would be appreciated.
