Sorry is a poor fuzzy camphone pic...this normal? Hard to see, but the sight is all the way right.

I find that I have to adjust many of my guns in that manner.

I don't believe it's the fault of the guns, but of how I hold them when shooting.

Guess that's one reason to have adjustable sights.

My 44 Magnum Blackhawk is the same way, a little to the right. I can live with it. It's not as far right as the OP. But my Single-Six is dead center........................................
 
Probably a combination of the front sight leaning and improper grip. Many of mine did just like yours at first, but with practice and lightening the trigger, I have moved all my sights back to center(or really close).

Tight grip, and press the trigger rearward with the tip of your finger. Not sideways with the joint of your finger.
 
You should be able to see that the front sight is attached way off center and not straight with the frame top , with the rear sight that far over. Or you "yankin" the gun when you pull the trigg
 
Take a close look at the vertical alignment of the front sight--I'll bet it's canted to the right due an improperly indexed barrel installation.

My 10.5" SBH, which was purchased new in '03, had the same problem. I had to crank the rear sight blade all the way to the right to compensate. A quick call to Ruger's customer service resulted in a call tag being issued. Ruger returned the gun, barrel now properly indexed and front sight correctly aligned, in about six weeks.

I take it you have benched shot it(from a flat rest or pistol rest)? Had someone else who is know to be an adquite revolver shooter test it for accuracy. In other words make sure its the gun and not the anticipation of the round going off that makes you twist to the left.
 
Yes, benched....by me, and I'm known to be an adequate revolver shooter. My Six and my 357 and centered and I shoot them straight. I just didn't notice the GF was slightly loose.
