I've just gone from 115 grain bullets, to 100 grain bullets, and it didn't change the POI. (Actualy tightened the group, but that could just be my handloading.)

It's most likely you're compensating for recoil that isn't there (Read: You're flinching), load some dummy rounds in with your live round and run them, if you flinch on the dummy round, you know what's wrong.

However, if it DOES turn out to be your gun, move the sight a bit to theee... Right? I wanna say right, but that could be the tiredness talking.

The rear sight goes in the direction you want the bullet to go. But...

This is true... Except when it's not.

Mine was shooting around a half inch left, marked it, knocked the sights out (To check the number for when I get rid of them), tapped it back in a little bit off of the mark, shoots straight now. This was tested by myself, and another person, we both confirmed it was shooting left.

If it's not fixed by bench resting, checking your habits, and using bullets that don't sound like they should be firing out of a .380, then tap the sights to fit you.

Every once in awhile it actually is lupus... I recently got a new  Springfield RO with the rear sight off center.

But, it's almost always something else. Took me longer than I'd like to admit to learn that...
