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
None taken, considering the fact that this isnt her "self defense gun". The.44 mag super blackhawk, orsawed off 12 gauge should work just fine. And yes, she can shoot them. The sights are built in. I havent shot it since, havent had the time to take it apart yet either. Relatively speaking, you're right, it probably isn't worth fixing to use as a method of self defense. Thats not why I want to fix it for her. She has had it for a long time and I just want to get it shooting again. Probably end up taking it to a gunsmith if I can't figure anything out when I take it apart. Am also looking into a reliable 9mm, without going overboard on the price. Have any suggestions for one of these?
