I see the problem. Thar's a spring hangin out!It’s all ok. I kinda started this thread about rookie learning anyway. New gun, new sights, and just trying to get it figured out.

Agree with @HayesGreener, get an instructor to watch you shoot a typical range session, get his advise and work on suggested areas. Also suggest having pistol sighted in by a good smith if available. Best to learn to hit the target with a proper zero than to keep adjusting site to our bad habits in order to get hits on target. (We have all done it). After a while, have same instructor watch again. You will be surprised at your improvement. Best of luck friend.

I was trying to make a joke. Oh well, I guess I'll keep my day job.I field strip my stuff after a range time to clean everything up. The spring is the recoil spring and I was telling a friend down in Alabama about the sights.

I'm guilty too.Guilty as charged also!
Just my .02...I'm usually at my outdoor range with other range rats 2 afternoons a week. I alternate between my shield plus, my hellcat pro and my Walter pdp. Low and left is inherently a right hand shooters issue. Grip, sight alignment and trigger control are paramount. When you add to that your rotation it complicates even more. Practice and train are the best solutions to master the ability to stay on target.
I'm guilty too.
I noticed that when I sight in from a bench with a rest, I'm always pretty far off when I practice draw & fire. I end up with a good pattern but I must look through the sights differently. So I sight all of my EDCs in while practicing draw & fire. Now scoped rifles is a different story.Anyone is welcome to disagree, but any sight adjustments on any firearm MUST be done from a bench vice to be accurate, IMO. Adjusting sights from free-hand shooting seems pointless to me.
I use a pistol rest...uh errr a tree to sight one in. yeah you can't zero a handgun shooting freehanded. but then after zero if you still hit low left, well that is the shooter then.
On my last range trip realized after several rounds determined I was only focusing on the dot. Was trying to break the shot when it appeared to be on target. Took a short break starting shooting again focusing more on the target less on the dot and my grouping really tightened. Think I was jerking the trigger causing rounds to be low left.I shoot low left, must adjust dot up and right? Answer is zero sight from rest, and adjust your bad shooting habits to put rounds on target.
Have the same Caldwell pistol rest but recently purchased a CTK Precision Compact rest from Amazon($115.00) that works very wellThis is the exact one i use, it's a cheapie but works
