    Foresight thown to one side.

    Evening peeps

    One thing I've noticed over the last week of getting used to the Morini 162e, is when I bring it up in my usual stance, the fore sight blade appears to one side (the left) of the rear sight cut out. I have increase the pressure in my thumb to compensate and this centralises the fore sight.

    Is this my musculature thowing the end of the gun to one side and must be trained out?

    Many thanks

    The grip needs fitting to bring the sights into alignment, your wrist should be dropped slightly and in its natural resting position, at this point the sights need to line up, if not the grip requires adjustment to do so, a small amount of material added to the heal (where the pad next to your thumb is) will bring the front sight to the right,it will only take a small amount of material to make quite a significant change to the front sight.

    Thumb pressure is unwanted.
    Re-grip the pistol. (let yr non-shooting hand give the pistol into yr shootinghand).
    The pistol is held in position by the 2 middle fingers. Pinky and thumb do not apply any pressure, nor do the finger tips.(they do touch the grip).
    To check, aim, close yr eyes than re-open.
    Pressure: do not overtighten grip pressure (white fingers). You can fiddle at bit with this. Most use the trick to over-grip than loosen.
    Regarding grip fit as stated above:the middle part of yr fingers should be straight on the foreside of the grip. If the grip is too small they wont lay on straight.
    Fingers have to get across the grip fully otherwise its too big.
