BG .380 sights - What would you do?

[Jeppo]

I'm just breaking in this new purchase and noticed it seems to shoot left. I held it down on a sandbag and verified the sights are off (front & rear although the front is more off-center) as shipped by S&W.

I realize this isn't a target pistol but shouldn't I be able to practice with it and depend on the sights being more or less accurate? I'm not inclined to invest in a sight pusher, begin beating on a brand new gun or paying a bunch of money to my local GS.

So, I'd appreciate your thoughts...

Am I expecting too much?

Would you send it back?

Thanks!

By the way, the bullseye you may have noticed in the first photo was from after I recognized the problem and shot again from the sandbag while holding to the right.

tap it with a punch and move along

I would drift them.
I don't think sending it back would be unreasonable, just unnecessary for me.

I'd buy the sight pusher because I like owning tools, but you could borrow one or ask for an assist.
but... a brass punch will get this job done much cheaper.
I know at least one gun toting curmudgeon with an excellent workshop who is close to you.

Good advice. How can I contact the (other) gun toting curmudgeon?

Thanks!!!!
