If I point-shoot, or just bring it up and point without using the sights and physically correcting for it, it points and shoots left about the width of the rear notch. I like the std non-SBH plowhandle best.

Trigger time and possibly a trigger job should correct this. Likely pushing the gun to the left with your finger while pulling the trigger.

I've tried it with multiple Bisleys, one with a veeery light trigger. It occurs before finger touches trigger. If I point without aiming and then check the sights, it's pointed left. Just how the Bis fits my hand I guess. If I ever by chance had to draw n' shoot in a hurry, I don't want to wonder if it's gonna go where I want...
