RE: Sighting in a pistol
I'd be willing to bet the "fixed" sites are built into the slide as with most .25s, also most of them (except baby browning & clones) have fixed stationary barrels. It sounds like the barrel itself or the frame where barrel is mounted os bent/broke, but impossible to know for sure without inspecting the gun personally. Regardless-DON'T SHOOT IT AGAIN until a gunsmith checks it out. No offence but I'm SERIOUSLY wondering why it's even worth fooling with as #1-most .25s aren't made to extremely high standards of manufacture or materials, and #2-IMO you're doing your wife an major disservice by having her rely on what is very likely the poorest cartridge ever designed for defensive purposes. Personally, I'm of the opinion you should get your wife a better firearm for defense before she actulaay has to shoot somebody, thus REALLY pissing them off. Again-sorry, just MY opinion. Neil
