I recently purchased a Sig P229 Dark Elite in 9mm. The gun shoots very well and POI is right on with the sights. I also purchased a threaded barrel for the same gun directly from Sig. The new threaded barrel has tighter groups for some reason at 7 yards but all shots are 1-1.5 inches left of the sight picture. I have swapped the barrels back and forth numerous times with the same results using the same ammo both at the beginning of the shooting session and at the end. I like the slightly longer threaded barrel because for whatever reason (maybe a tighter lockup) the groups are nicer than the stock barrel. I know I can just adjust the sights to compensate but why would I need to? The barrels are from the exact same company for the same gun. Why would one barrel shoot left and one shoot straight? Can I fix the issue with the threaded barrel to make it shoot closer to the sight picture?
