Have you moved the front sight on the Ruger 57?

My Ruger 57's front sight is not centered. It is not terrible, but it shoots 1" at 15 feet to the left with the rear sight centered. I have tried a brass punch but it won't move. Do you have any tips?

thanks

I will say this and it shows that on occasion I might be a tad dense and slow on figuring things out. About two years ago I went to my pistol range and shot three different pistols... Two were Ruger P95's and a Sig.... One of the Rugers was shooting about 3" to the left at 25ft and the other about 2" left and the Sig just a tad to the left or maybe an inch..... and I spent a good bit of time trying to push the 3" Ruger's sight over..... got home and started thinking about it.... "Wait a Minute BLUME!... . why were all 3 shooting left?" I went back a few days later and fiddled around with my grip and made sure my finger was square on the trigger and guess what?.... dern rounds came a lot closer to center, especially on the "3" gun.

Not saying your sight doesn't need moving... but I am saying when a pistol appears to be inaccurate... the first place to look is behind the gun...
