Are Sig fixed rear sights adjusted for right/left hand shooters?

[buenhec]

My P239 just got fitted with Sig nightsights. The armorer wanted to know if I still wanted them centered to the left, since I am a right handed shooter.

I have only shot this gun once so I asked him to center them since this is how they are supposed to be. I have never heard of this. He says since a trigger pull is actually to one side and not back this counteracts it?

Is this correct?

My p229 got them installed (trijicon) at the Scottsdale gun club, but the gunsmith never mentioned this, he just installed them. The P239 got the original sig night sights installed by a Sig armorer at my Sig dealer, which has never led me wrong and is an incredibly knowledgeable person.

For the longest time I thought the same, centered is centered.

I am shooting to the left about 2" at 25 feet this way, if I center the sight it may help me hit bullseye but the armorer is telling me I have to bench the gun to really see what I am doing. I think he is full of S____, how do I bench a gun, to prove him wrong or right....?

Anyone else

Put in center and look some where else to have work done

Start in the center, then shoot off a rest, rolled up towel, sandbag, anything to steady your grip. Its best to rest your wrist, not the gun. 50' would be a better distance, or 25yrds. The farther out you are, the greater the error, so its easier to fine tune. Good luck!

Sounds like someone needs to work on their trigger control.

Have someone else (someone you know is a good shot) shoot your gun. Sometimes, POI isn't quite POA when stock sights are completely centered--you never know. That's why it's important to either bench the gun or have it shot by someone who can shoot straight. Then you know for sure if the rear sight should be drifted over or not. Oftentimes, a gun shoots inherently straight but groups low-left because the shooter has a bit of a flinch. Hence the bench.
