I have an Uberti 45 colt New Dakota model.

The thing shoots about 10 to 12 inches to the left at 25 yards.

I've been told that this is how they shoot but this does not sound right to me.

Should I take this to a gun smith to get it sighted in straight or is this something I have to learn to live with?

Thanks in advance for your help

I'd see if a Smith could tighten the barrel a bit, or gingerly tweak front blade to the left.

First I'd let a buddy shoot it and see if he gets the same results.

If you are both getting 2" groups a foot to the left then the sight has to be adjusted or you have to get used to it.

I've turned barrels on fixed sight single action revolvers to move windage. Just takes the right tools (Brownells has them).
Not that hard to do.

Yes

I have had three different shooters shoot this gun and every one is off by the same amount.

Thanks for help

this gives me a direction to move towards

I recently got a used Colt SSA 44/40 that shoots to point of aim very nicely. The front sight leans to one side quite noticeably. I don't notice it when actually sighting the revolver.

Sounds like it's been adjusted. Front sights often lean one way or the other after the barrel has been turned.

That is what I assumed. The OP may need to have the same thing done to his revolver.

I've owned many fixed sight revolvers and pistols over the years, and Colts have consistently shot to (or very close to) point of aim more than any other brand. I realize this is anecdotal, but I can't remember having a Colt where the sights were "way off".

My experience with Colts, as well.
