Hey guys just bought a PT1911 and am curious about about how to solve an issue with how it shoots. Out of the box it shot about 2 inches right and and inch low, but grouped pretty well. after about 20 rds they started hitting waaaay low. I am talking about 10 inches low, and this was at maybe 10 yards or so, no more than 15. The only thing i did was adjust the rear sight, but after they started shooting low I moved it back to its original position to make sure it wasn't that. Any ideas or suggestions to whats causing this? I have only shot 50 rds through it, and they were Remington 230 gr. FMJ's. I am not much of a pistol guy so any help would be greatly appreciated!
