Ultra CDP sight adjustment
Shooting a bit to the left. It looks like I could use a drift to move either the front or rear sight (after loosening the set screw)
What is the best way to make a minor adjustment?

just left? or low left?
have other people shoot your gun, that is the best way to know its not the sights. Hitting left is usually from your trigger finger too far over on the trigger, should just have the pad of your finger. I tend to get my finger over too much as well and i notice the left pattern. I correct and its straight again. 99.99% its not the sights my friend

The best way is to use a sight pusher like some of the ones shown in Brownells. Categories
This will give you very fine control over just how far you are moving the sights. If you can't get your hands on one, you'll have to use a calibrated tap of the hammer against the plastic drift.

"just left? or low left?"
Just left. Consistantly about two inches off at 15 yards. Left handed or right handed shooting, free hand or bench rest, same error. I'm sure some could live with it but it bugs me.

check the center of your front sight and make sure it is centered .. if you have a caliper that is helpful... use a soft piece of plastic or wood to gently drift the front sight... with the front sight... chase the group.. if it is left...move the front sight left...that will move the group right... two inches at 15 yards means only a few thousands movement of the front sight on the ultra guns...
