Colt Anaconda ,shoots to the left

[Iron Worker]

I have a 2nd generation Colt Anaconda, and it's "Bad to the Bone," I've been shooting reduced loads out of it, 17.4 grs of 2400 behind a coated 240gr bullet. I installed new Wilson combat sights; ( They're very nice). Regardless, the windage is maxed out to the right, and I still hit left. It doesn't happen with my other wheel guns. I'm asking myself what fundamental mistake I am making. I still hit gallon jugs at 30 yds when I favor the right.

Switch hands!
Just kidding. It is usually your trigger finger pulling. How did it shoot with the factory sights?

You can send it back to Colt and they should fix it.

Also have you put the pistol in a Pistol Vise and then shoot to see how it actually hits. I know my Father-in-law shoots every pistol differently do to his Grip. He tells me the pistol (s) shoot High, Low, right, left. I shoot and no problem and put in a Pistol Vise and they are usually right on.
Another thing I have see with adjustable sights is the direction of the sight movement was incorrect. The more it was moved the more it shot the wrong direction. Try moving your sight in the opposite direction.

Lots of shooters when shooting big bore hand guns shoot to the left and low. It's a flinch. Have a friend load your pistol with a couple of empty chambers, and shoot it without looking to see if next chamber is empty. It may open your eyes.

1) Grip
2) Trigger finger (pull)

Have you had another shooter shoot it? One of my kids (adults) Was shooting one of my big bore revolvers and hitting consistently left or right, but it hit dead on for me. You stated that it does not happen with your other wheel guns. But it's worth a shot (no pun intended) before shipping it back to Colt.

I have a mod 29 with same thing and sent it to S&W and they fixed it - sight now centered. Target is from S&W.

It has to be me. I'm not shipping anything.

I'm getting old, And I wasn't the greatest pistol shot before that. After a few full bore loads from my .44 mag I will start anticipating the shot and push it left and low. I know what is happening and just have to concentrate harder. A really good trigger helps loads. But if I'm messing up I stop and shoot another day.

Or, you could just radical and put a scope on it. The sights on my Anaconda got fuzzy (old, bad eyes) shooting poor groups. I put a 2-7 Burris scope on it. Nailed a groundhog yesterday center of the neck at 58 yards. Seeing better always makes me shoot better.
