I wonder if any of the previous posters and advice givers own a Baby Eagle? I have one in 40S&W and it shot slightly left and not so slightly low straight out of the box and hasn't changed in four years. Offhand, two hands, one hand, standing, kneeling, prone, bench rest and sandbags the Baby is low left. Factory ammo, reloads with 165 grain bullets, 180 grain bullets, Unique powder, Power Pistol powder, W-231 powder, V-N340 powder and the Baby is shooting low and left.

You should try the recommendations posted above. Let a couple of other people shoot the pistol and see where it groups for them. However, in the final analysis, you may find the sights are off - low and left - like my Baby Eagle.
