Ok, just got back from putting 100 rds. through my almost new Series 80 Commander. She ain't ready for carry duty yet, but will be.

Groups were reliably 2-3" at seven yds., but always 2-3" high and right of dead center. Once I compensated by aiming that far low and left, I was able to keep half-dollar sized bullseye groups. I plan on Novak or Trijicon night sights, possibly contrasting Tru-Glo fiber optic sights. So I'm not worried about fixing this high and right issue yet. But I'm wondering if a guide rod will help here. I have one in my full size Springer and it's pretty accurate. What kind of tuning do I need if not a guide rod? Feeding is fine. The checkered wooden grips really bit my hands, so I ditched them for rubber ones after I was done on the range. I don't think that will make too much difference. And man, did accuracy suck at 10 yds. My SIG's are still way more accurate, but I like the size and feel of a Commander. So I want to bring this one up to par for carry duty. I won't carry anything I can't shoot at an expert level though.
